But with the complexity that comes with digital transformation and cloud-native architecture, teams need a way to make sure applications can withstand the “chaos” of production. Practitioners subject software to a controlled, simulated crisis to test for unstable behavior. Dynatrace news. Chaos engineers ask why.

Both virtualization and power burst onto the architecture community seemingly out of nowhere even though there was a clear historical basis and trend for both. We believed existing hardware and OS protocols protected the processor.
