Daylight savings can bring chaos to systems such as rogue processes consuming CPU or memory and therefore impact your critical systems. The question is: how do you systems react to this chaos? How can you test for this? And how can you make your systems more resilient against this chaos?

In this episode we talk with Ana Margarita Medina, Chaos Engineer at Gremlin. In her previous job, Ana (@Ana_M_Medina) was a Site Reliability Engineer at Uber where she helped coping with the “chaos” on New Years Eve or Halloween. Ana gives us great insights into the discipline of Chaos Engineering, that its really about running controlled experiment and that everyone can get started that has an interest in contributing to more resilient systems.

Here the additional links we promised during the recording: Drift into failure, Chaos Engineering Community, Chaos Engineering and System Resilience in Practice.
