Abstract
Disclosed are various embodiments for simulating hardware-based faults in a cloud provider network. A first computing device can send a command to an offload card installed on a second computing device to introduce a simulated hardware fault into the second computing device. Then the first computing device can determine whether the second computing device has successfully recovered from the simulated hardware fault. Alternatively, an entry in an access control list (ACL) of a network switch can be modified to block network traffic to a first network interface of a host machine that is connected to the network switch. Then, a command can be sent to a second network interface of the host machine to instruct the host machine to perform a hard reset. Then it can be determined whether the host machine has successfully booted subsequent to the hard reset.
