Or until the power is cycled. That's why it's best to do the crazy monkey or whatever it's called, walk into the production offline datacenter, online for testing (you do have geographically redundant datacenters right?) and pull out a half dozen random NIC cables. You can simulate with software tools but nothing beats the real test.
- softawre 10y ago> crazy monkey Literally lol'd. It's "chaos monkey".
- jsprogrammer 10y agoChaos monkey is a simulation, I believe.
- bch 10y agoIt's not a simulation, it's real-world production technology. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technical_details_of_Netflix https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technical_details_of_Netflix

- s_kilk 10y agoI think they meant that Netflix Chaos Monkey is a "simulation" of the real-deal, which is sending a shaved-ape into a physical server room and pulling out physical network cables. I didn't read it as derogatory.
- bch 10y agoOh perhaps they did mean shaved-ape simulator. I read none of it as derogatory, and hopefully my response didn't suggest otherwise.
