- dgrin91 6y agoThis was the good laugh I needed today. Thank you.
- brodouevencode 6y agoHad the same thought but with kinesis
- jedberg 6y agoAs funny as this is, Chaos Engineering is not just random failures. It's causing known failures to see what happens. They may be a surprise to the service or even the engineers running the service, but someone should know what's happening so it can be turned off and so things can be monitored and recorded and hypotheses can be proposed and tested.
- stingraycharles 6y agoDoesn’t that kind of defeat the point of chaos engineering, that is, making the process unsupervised and triggering failure scenarios that were not yet known? I always considered the simplest form of chaos engineering to be a process that randomly kills processes on a server, and see what happens. If, on the other hand, you mean that it’s important that the “chaos” aspects needs and on/off button and that someone needs to be managing that, then I agree. :)
- jedberg 6y agoYeah, that second thing. :) The chaos itself should be random, but the time and place should not be.
- oblio 6y agoNow that there are other regions there, is there any reason, except for legacy, to use us-east-1? New features are generally ported quite fast to the other regions, so this doesn't seem like a valid reason in 2020.
- bithavoc 6y agoI blame Heroku, for America us-east is the only option so it's a legacy for many to keep creating resources there.
- brodouevencode 6y agoRegional costs are different. east-1 and west-2 are largely the same, but east-2 and anything outside of the US tend to be more expensive. The proper way to handle this is using multi-region HA/DR.
- stingraycharles 6y agoFor some reason our customers keep asking us to launch our services in us-east-1, which I can only assume is for legacy reasons. What I don’t understand, however, is what’s preventing Amazon from upgrading the infrastructure in us-east-1 and making it more stable. Is it about mitigating risk of unknown side effects and/or incompatibilities?
- electroly 6y agoThe obvious one is if you're physically located near us-east-1 and want low latency to your office. us-east-2 is all the way in Ohio.
