I imagine AWS and other clouds have a staging/simulation environment for testing their own services. I seem to recall them discussing that for VPC during re:Invent or something. I'm on the fence though if I would want a separate region for this with various random failures. I think I'd be more interested in being able to inject faults/latencies/degradation in existing regions, and when I want them to happen for more control and ability to verify any fixes. Would be interesting to see how they price it as well. High per-API cost depending on the service being affected, combined with a duration. Eg, make these EBS volumes 50% slower for the next 5min. Then after or in tandem with the API pieces, release their own hosted Chaos Monkey type service.
