In May 2017, at London’s two of the busiest airports, British Airways grounded all of its flights. <\/span>That day 75,000 passengers of British airways were impacted because of an IT failure. <\/span>Airline investigations reported that it was the case of poor resilience and lack of proper disaster recovery after a power surge at a UK-based data center.<\/span><\/p>\n

The CEO of British Airways recently explained how that one IT failure cost the company 80 Million Pounds!<\/span><\/p>\n

Even in your companies, failures are bound to happen.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMany unknown factors can not be anticipated in the regular testing scenario for application failure. So this raises the ultimate question – <\/span><\/i>Is regular testing sufficient?
\n<\/i><\/b>What if your system was rebooted by mistake? Or your access management was compromised?
\n<\/span><\/i>These kinds of problems cannot be calculated and solved in regular tests.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

– Suratip Banerjee, Solutions Architect at Principal Global Services, at a webinar with Whizlabs on Chaos Engineering and AWS Fault Injection Simulator.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

These failures cause costly outages for companies. The outages hurt customers trying to shop, transact business, and get work done. Even brief outages can impact a company’s bottom line, so the cost of downtime is becoming a KPI for many engineering teams.<\/span><\/p>\n

In 2017, 98% of the organizations said that a single hour of downtime would cost their business almost a million dollars. <\/span>That is a huge risk.<\/span><\/p>\n

So companies need a solution to this challenge and waiting for the next outage is not an option to meet the challenges head-on.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hence, you need Chaos Engineering<\/em><\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

On 12 September 2021, Whizlabs hosted a webinar on Chaos Engineering and AWS FIS.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Suratip Banerjee, who was the featured speaker, explained in detail all the aspects of Chaos Engineering, AWS FIS, and their benefits.<\/span><\/p>\n
