Providing fault injection to cloud-provisioned machines

A computer program product, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a computing device to cause the computing device to:

• determine one or more fault conditions to be associated with a fault injection implementation based on one or more parameters associated with a request for the fault injection implementation, wherein said determining the one or more fault conditions to be associated with the fault injection implementation comprises ranking multiple fault conditions based on one or more variables;
• generate a specification for a lifecycle of the fault injection implementation based on the one or more fault conditions;
• and
• execute the fault injection implementation in a target system, wherein said executing comprises effecting the lifecycle of the fault injection implementation according to the generated specification.

A system comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• at least one processor coupled to the memory and configured for:
• determining one or more fault conditions to be associated with a fault injection implementation based on one or more parameters associated with a request for the fault injection implementation, wherein said determining the one or more fault conditions to be associated with the fault injection implementation comprises ranking multiple fault conditions based on one or more variables;
• generating a specification for a lifecycle of the fault injection implementation based on the one or more fault conditions;
• and
• executing the fault injection implementation in a target system, wherein said executing comprises effecting the lifecycle of the fault injection implementation according to the generated specification.
