Hands-on with Azure Chaos Studio
by Amy Coughlin
It’s time to get your hands cloudy in Azure Chaos Studio! This course will teach you how to plan, design, and implement chaos engineering experiments in Azure.
What you'll learn
With commodity hardware, widely distributed systems, and dependencies on APIs that may be out of your control, it’s wise to turn to chaos engineering as a means to ensuring resiliency, availability, and performance when things go wrong. In this course, Hands-on with Azure Chaos Studio, you’ll learn to plan, design, and implement chaos engineering experiments. First, you’ll explore some techniques to conduct failure mode analysis. Next, you’ll discover the various options for creating and monitoring experiments. Finally, you’ll learn how to implement two different types of chaos experiments. When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have the skills and knowledge of Azure Chaos Studio needed to create your first chaos experiment in your own Azure environment.
About the author
Howdy fellow student of life! Thanks for your interest in learning more about what makes me tick. Throughout my tech career, I found that I had the most fun and the greatest satisfaction when I was helping others learn about and embrace software and related technologies. So, when I was honored to be offered a staff position as a training architect -- I realized a dream to combine my passion for technology and my passion for teaching others. I hope that the material I provide plays some small par... moret in helping you pursue your passions, too.
A leader of people, a shepherd of data -- and a follower of both -- I have more than 30 years in the tech industry, much of it focused on Microsoft stack services and databases, for both on-prem and cloud implementations. I cut my cloud teeth while reducing a patent to practice; we implemented a card game paradigm in a WCF service on Azure. It was late in 2012, when interacting with Azure involved a lot of co-mentoring with erstwhile Microsoft folks. I've had my head in the cloud(s) ever since!
