AWS Fault Injection Service
Improve resilience and performance with controlled experiments
Benefits
Find weaknesses
Find weaknesses missed by traditional software tests.
Define specific conditions
Define specific conditions to stop an experiment or roll back to the pre-experiment state.
Run experiments
Run experiments in minutes using pre-built scenarios from the FIS Scenario Library.
Get superior insights
Get superior insights by generating real-world failure conditions, such as impaired performance of different resources.
How it works
Part of AWS Resilience Hub, AWS Fault Injection Service is a fully managed service for running fault injection experiments to improve an application’s performance, observability, and resilience. AWS Fault Injection Service simplifies the process of setting up and running controlled fault injection experiments across a range of AWS services, so teams can build confidence in their application behavior.
Why AWS Fault Injection Service?
AWS Fault Injection Service provides the controls and guardrails that teams need to run experiments in production, such as automatically rolling back or stopping the experiment if specific conditions are met.
Use cases
Run a game-day simulation
Simulate previous failures, known process or team weaknesses, or seasonal spikes in demand, and monitor the performance of your system.
Integrate with your delivery pipeline
Repeatedly test the impact of fault actions, such as injecting task-level container failures, as part of your software delivery process.
Run CPU stress on an instance
Test how your applications handle CPU stress and if CPU utilization exceeds your specified threshold.
BMW Group uses AWS Fault Injection Service
BMW’s connected vehicle backend operates 24/7 worldwide with 99.95% reliability. To maintain this high standard, BMW developed automated and repeatable tests with AWS Fault Injection Service that minimized human error while proactively identifying and fixing potential problems.
