This session covers the basics of how to use isolation boundaries to build resilient applications, and dives deep into using chaos engineering and AWS Fault Injection Service (AWS FIS) to test those boundaries.

AWS provides isolation boundaries, including Availability Zones and AWS Regions, which can be used to meet high availability and continuity of operations requirements. To verify that your application behaves as expected, it’s critical to test its response to impairments. This session covers the basics of how to use isolation boundaries to build resilient applications, dives deep into using chaos engineering and AWS Fault Injection Service (AWS FIS) to test those boundaries, and provides best practices around continuous resilience to help you prevent regression and maintain application availability.
