Various embodiments are generally directed to techniques for utilizing disruptions to enterprise systems, such as to test and/or improve the ability of the enterprise system to recover from system failures, for instance. In many embodiments, an enterprise system may include two or more networked components, such as hardware components and software components. Some embodiments are particularly directed to generating a disruption scheme for an enterprise system based on analysis of one or more aspects of the enterprise system. For example, embodiments may include one or more of planning, scheduling, creating, timing, implementing, administering, and/or strengthening against a disruption to an enterprise system in a controlled and monitored manner. In many embodiments, administration of a disruption scheme may be monitored, recorded, and/or analyzed. In many such embodiments, a library of disruption events may be generated based on monitoring, recording, and/or analyzing implementation of the disruption scheme.

Techniques for utilizing disruptions to enterprise systems

Various embodiments are generally directed to techniques for network strengthening, such as by detecting issues with one or more network components and reconfiguring one or more upstream or downstream network components to preempt issues with the one or more upstream or downstream network components, for instance. Some embodiments are particularly directed to a tool (e.g., strengthening agent) that implements pre-scripted or dynamic hardening of up and downstream dependencies of a network component in response to an issue identified with the network component. In many embodiments, up and downstream components of a network component may be reconfigured while the issue with the network component is being addressed to preempt issues with the up and downstream components.

Techniques for dynamic network strengthening

Various embodiments are generally directed to techniques for dynamic network resiliency, such as by monitoring and controlling the configuration of one or more network components to ensure proper endpoint alignment, for instance. Some embodiments are particularly directed to a tool (e.g., resiliency agent) that can automatically recognize symptoms of issues with a network component, such as autoscaling, latency, traffic spikes, resource utilization spikes, etcetera, and respond appropriately to ensure continued and optimized operation of the network component. In many embodiments, the tool may dynamically reroute endpoint traffic, perform traffic balancing, and/or drive autoscaling to optimize operation of the network component in response to recognizing symptoms.
