If Amazon simulated power failure, or network cable disconnect, or potentially even corrupt writes to disk, I personally feel it would be indistinguishable from the event really happening.
- BillinghamJ 6y agoThe problem is that they can't really realistically simulate that for a single instance unless you've got the whole physical machine to yourself, and of course the worst issues tend to be when it's half-broken, not entirely off/disconnected
- jsjohnst 6y agoPower loss or network disconnect could easily be simulated without needing the whole physical machine.
