Many AWS outages result in APIs failing or returning errors, which should be possible to simulate. I'd like to create experiments where EC2 instances won't spin up in a particular AZ, EBS disks can't be reattached, Route53 zones can't be updated, IAM changes don't take effect, etc.
- aynsof 6y agoThere's no tool that I'm aware of, but you could implement hard failures using SCPs. That will cause an error when the blocked API call is called. It won't, however, give you latency or any nuance in failure rates.
