Overview
An experimentation platform for improving app resilience
Improve application resilience with chaos engineering and testing by deliberately introducing faults that simulate real-world outages. Azure Chaos Studio is a fully managed chaos engineering experimentation platform for accelerating discovery of hard-to-find problems, from late-stage development through production. Disrupt your apps intentionally to identify gaps and plan mitigations before your customers are impacted by a problem.
- Validate product quality when and where it makes sense for your organization. Take advantage of a hypothesis-based approach to drive application resilience with integrated chaos in your CI/CD pipeline, through drill events, game days, or a combination of both. Use the continuously growing fault library to validate your architecture, configuration, code, monitoring, and the staffing and resources you need to be more resilient.
- Avoid the need to manage tools and scripts while spending more time learning about your application's resilience. Get started quickly with experiment templates and an expanding library of faults—including agent-based faults that disrupt within resources and service-based faults that disrupt resources at the control plane.
- Improve application reliability by implementing a cohesive strategy to make informed decisions before, during, and after chaos experiments. Integrate load testing into your chaos experiments to simulate real-world customer traffic. Disrupt your apps intentionally to identify gaps and plan mitigations before your customers are impacted by a problem.
- Experiment by subjecting your Azure apps to real or simulated faults in a controlled manner to better understand application resilience. Observe how your apps will respond to real-world disruptions such as network latency, an unexpected storage outage, expiring secrets, or even a full datacenter outage with chaos engineering and testing.
