The «How» and «Why» of Verify: Believe in your Cloud Native System’s SLOs with Verification through Chaos Engineering
15:00 – 15:45 UPtown
System verification through chaos engineering has everything to do with user happiness. In this talk Russ Miles, CEO of Reliably, will show you how and why you should verify.
You will see how to take your system’s objectives, SLOs, and explore them using system verification through chaos engineering. Demonstrating verification live, you will see how to capture your objectives and how they are measured, SLIs, and how to create, run, analyse and learn from a collection of real-world verifications based on chaos engineering experiments.
Cloud native systems give you so much power to adapt and deliver, but with that power comes the need to verify you mission-critical system objectives before they become catastrophes. Your systems and users are too important to leave this to luck; verification is there to helps you ready for the inevitable failures that your socio-technical system will encounter so your users are happy users.
