Schedule a recurring experiment with AWS Fault Injection Simulator

Chaos Engineering on AWS

Running chaos experiments periodically can be very useful, especially if you want to ensure that your application’s resilience isn’t regressing as your application evolves.

Until recently, customers had to use their own tools or built their own scheduling capabilities. This added complexity, slowed application development, and increased costs.

This is now a thing of the past!

Amazon EventBridge Scheduler just announced a new capability that lets you schedule one-time or recurrent tasks across many AWS services — including AWS Fault Injection Simulator (FIS), without provisioning or managing underlying infrastructure.

This new capability from EventBridge means you can now easily schedule AWS FIS experiments without having to handle any of the supporting infrastructure.

This blog post explains how to use Amazon EventBridge Scheduler to trigger an AWS FIS experiment every 10 minutes.

Buckle up!
