Abstract
The technology described herein is directed towards fault injection to cloud provider resources, through a system that facilitates selection of specific resources in availability zone(s)/region(s). Example resources include VMs (virtual machines), VM clusters, tagged resource grouping and/or managed services. Based on (e.g., user) input data, the system injects faults to specified resources through cloud provider interfaces. The input data can specify availability zone(s), fault injection start time and duration. The input data can also specify fixed mode (fail specified resources together) or chaos mode (randomly inject failures for each resource individually). Failure type can be specified, e.g., graceful (e.g., clean shutdown) or non-graceful (e.g., a non-clean, hard fault). Based on the input, the system injects fault(s) using the modes selected to the specified resource(s) in the selected availability zone(s) for the duration entered. The user is provided the fault-related status information the during the duration.
