This addresses reliability issues for organizations operating large-scale distributed systems, presenting a novel methodology rather than an incremental improvement.

The paper tackles the problem of ensuring reliability in complex distributed software systems by introducing Chaos Engineering, an experimental approach to verify system behavior under failure conditions, though no concrete numerical results are provided.

Modern software-based services are implemented as distributed systems with complex behavior and failure modes. Many large tech organizations are using experimentation to verify the reliability of such systems. We use the term "Chaos Engineering" to refer to this approach, and discuss the underlying principles and how to use it to run experiments.
