Golden Paths for Chaos Engineering in Platform Engineering

Transcript

1. Golden Paths for Chaos Engineering in Platform Engineering Yury Niño Roa Google | SRE | Chaos Engineering @yurynino
2. Agenda • What is Platform Engineering [PE], Internal Development Platforms [IDP] and Golden Paths? • How to integrate Chaos Engineering [CE] into an [IDP]? • How to create a template for [CE]?
3. What is common in these combinations?
4. And what is different?
5. In a world where automation has become the norm, practices like chaos engineering can be challenging for developers to embrace. One solution for encouraging this practice lies in Platform Engineering.
6. What is Platform Engineering? Gregor Hohpe
7. Platform Engineering is the discipline of designing and building workflows and templates inside Internal Development Platforms to enable self-service capabilities for software engineering organizations in the cloud-native era. — Luca Galant
8. Internal Development Platforms are the goal of Platform Engineering providing the components for building, deploying, and operating software solutions, thereby harmonizing in-house software delivery tool chains through Golden Paths. — Luca Galant
9. Golden Paths or paved paths are predefined routes in a platform that outline the best practices, steps, and required tools to achieve a specific goal. They are well-structured pathways that guide developers through building, deploying, and testing applications. — Atulpriya Sharma
10. What is the relation with Chaos Engineering? How can we seamlessly integrate CE practices into the Platform?
11. How can we seamlessly integrate Chaos Engineering practices into the Platform? Providing a workflow dedicated to Chaos Engineering!
12. 1. Generate experiments for the application. 2. Provide observability around experiments executions and insights. 3. Automate repetitive experiments.
13. Generating experiments for apps • Graceful Downtime Handling • Observability Gaps • Latency Challenges
14. Provide observability to the experiments
15. Automate Repetitive Experiments • CI/CD pipelines • GitOps workflows • Post-deployment testing • Canary releases
16. How to integrate Chaos Engineering [CE] into an [IDP]?
17. Using Templates!
