In 2010, Netflix introduced a technology to switch production software instances off at random — like setting a monkey loose in a server room — to test how the cloud handled its services. Thus, the tool Chaos Monkey was born. Increased resilience and faster response times mean less down-time. Boosts business outcomes.

The answer can be found in the theory of economic rents, and in particular, in the kinds of rents that are collected by companies during different stages of the technology business cycle. Then the cycle begins again with a new class of competitors, who are forced to explore new, disruptive technologies that reset the entire market.

Advocates of any technique or technology can be a bit heavy-handed when it suits them if they’re not being careful–myself included.
