This plan should allow the system's recovery in a timely manner so that our customers and our leadership can continue to have confidence in our production systems.

A common refrain is that "we learn more from failure than we learn from success". Chaos engineering takes this refrain and applies it to computing infrastructure. However, instead of waiting for failure to occur, chaos engineering creates these failure conditions in a controlled manner to test the resiliency of our systems.

Systemic weaknesses can take many forms. Here are some examples:
