My sincerest apology to Ali Haider Zaveri, author of the article Location-Aware Distribution: Configuring servers at scale. I originally miscredited the article to two folks, claiming they were from Facebook when in fact they work at Google.

In this blog post I will show you what a disaster recovery exercise is, how it can diagnose weak points in your infrastructure, and how it can be a learning experience for your on-call team.

Chaos engineering isn’t just for SREs.
everyone benefits from observing a failure. Even UI engineers, people from a UX background, product managers.
