Mechanisms for assessing service resilience through fault injections

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having program instructions stored thereon that are capable of causing a computer system to perform operations comprising:

• receiving a fault injection payload that conforms to a template and identifies one or more faults to inject into a set of services of one or more target environments that are identified in the fault injection payload;
• performing a set of iterations to inject the one or more faults into the set of services, wherein a particular one of the iterations includes:
• identifying, for a particular fault that corresponds to the particular iteration, a fault injection system from a plurality of fault injection systems that is capable of injecting the particular fault;
• and
• based on the fault injection payload, generating and providing a payload ingestible by the identified fault injection system to cause the identified fault injection system to inject the fault;
• and
• after performing the set of iterations to inject the one or more faults, performing a set of analyses associated with the set of services to determine whether one or more anomalies occurred as a result of the injected one or more faults.

A system, comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• memory having program instructions stored thereon that are executable by the at least one processor to cause the system to perform operations comprising:
• receiving a fault injection payload that conforms to a template and identifies one or more faults to inject into a set of services of one or more target environments that are identified in the fault injection payload;
• performing a set of iterations to inject the one or more faults into the set of services, wherein a particular one of the iterations includes:
• identifying, for a particular fault that corresponds to the particular iteration, a fault injection system from a plurality of fault injection systems that is capable of injecting the particular fault;
• and
• based on the fault injection payload, generating and providing a payload ingestible by the identified fault injection system to cause the identified fault injection system to inject the fault;
• and
• after performing the set of iterations to inject the one or more faults, performing a set of analyses associated with the set of services to determine whether one or more anomalies occurred as a result of the injected one or more faults.
