IBM's Principles of Chaos Engineering

IBM has a long history of improving the reliability and availability of systems ranging from the largest of mainframes to the smallest of microservices. As part of cultural and organisational improvements we’ve sat down and codified a list of Chaos Engineering principles which define our view of Chaos Engineering. These principles do not replace existing principles, but adapt them and match them to the requirements we have from our clients and from our own internal services. In this session, we will describe a little of the process of getting engineers from across to agree on these principles and present the principles and lessons which we agreed upon.
