Azure Chaos Studio
By adding errors and creating chaos or outages, you can increase the resilience of your applications.
An experimentation platform for improving app resilience
Use testing and chaos engineering to increase application resilience by purposefully creating defects that mimic actual outages. From late-stage development to production, Azure Chaos Studio provides a fully managed platform for chaos engineering experiments that speeds up the identification of challenging issues. Intentionally disrupt your apps to find vulnerabilities and prepare fixes before a problem affects your customers.
Azure Chaos Studio advantages
- Put your Azure apps through simulated or actual errors.
- Examine how your apps react to interruptions in the real world.
- Incorporate experiments using chaos engineering into any stage of quality assurance.
- Utilise the same resources as Microsoft engineers to increase cloud service resiliency.
Boost the dependability of your Azure apps
To application resilience, try exposing your Azure apps to controlled real or simulated problems. Use chaos engineering and testing to see how your apps will react to real-world disturbances like network delay, an unplanned storage failure, expiration secrets, or even a complete datacenter outage.
Try things on your own terms
When and where it makes sense for your company, validate the quality of your products. By using drill events, game days, or a combination of both, you may leverage a hypothesis-based strategy to increase application resilience with integrated chaos in your CI/CD pipeline. Verify your design, setup, code, monitoring, and the manpower and resources you require to increase resilience using the constantly expanding fault library.
Gain insights without the chaos of getting started
Spend more time understanding the robustness of your application and less time managing tools and scripts. With experiment templates and a growing library of faults, such as agent-based faults that interfere with resources inside the system and service-based faults that interfere with resources at the control plane, you can get started right away.
Use reliability validation to go beyond fault injection
Enhance application dependability by putting in place a systematic approach to decision-making prior to, during, and following chaos trials. In order to replicate actual consumer traffic, incorporate load testing into your chaotic experiments. Intentionally disrupt your apps to find vulnerabilities and prepare fixes before a problem affects your customers.
Azure chaos studio pricing
Depending on how your experiments are carried out, Chaos Studio is pay as you go. Chaos engineering experiments are billed either by the action-minute or for the time your actions take place.
Introduce faults and simulate outages to increase the robustness of your applications
By purposefully creating failures that mimic actual outages, Azure Chaos Studio allows you to increase the resilience of your applications.
Experiments involving chaos engineering are billed for the time that your activities are in effect.
Chaos experiments will be billed by the action-minute or for the time that your experiment actions run. Azure Chaos Studio will be pay-as-you-go depending on experiment execution.
Please be aware that doing chaos experiments could result in extra fees for other services, such as when CPU usage causes auto scaling to release more resources.

FAQs
What does Azure Chaos Studio do?
Azure Chaos Studio is a managed service that uses chaos engineering to monitor, understand, and improve cloud application and service resilience. You can inject real-world defects into your application to conduct controlled fault injection experiments using chaos engineering.
How does Azure Chaos Studio work?
You can create “experiments” in Azure Chaos Studio that identify the target resources and the faults to inject. It provides a library of built-in faults, such as service-direct faults that interfere with resources at the control plane level and agent-based faults that operate inside your resources. You can see how these errors affect the operation and performance of your application.
Is Azure Chaos Studio secure?
Yes, Azure Chaos Studio prioritises security. Explicit granular permissions are needed for experiments in order to introduce failures against resources. The resources that are targeted and the degree of disruption that is caused are at your control.
