With you so far > A bash script utilizing curl will suffice. Lol hell no. Yes, AWS/amazon does require a "GameDay" before launching a service which will execute an mcm (managed change management) that's basically a runbook of (way more in depth and comprehensive way to test your service than a single bash script with curl), but chaos engineering is a great additive, additional verification mechanism that really helps with service outages. How are you going to test a thundering herd with a bash script executing curl? How many machines are you running this simple bash+curl script on anyway? Using a single node to generate requests isn't going to do much in testing a service's reliability. Also, they literally did invent a wheel https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/opensource/the-wheel/ https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/opensource/the-wheel/
