Quick Answer
Chaos engineering deliberately injects failures into the system to find weaknesses before they cause real incidents. Kill random pods (Chaos Monkey), inject network latency, drop packets between services, saturate CPU/memory. Use tools like Chaos Monkey, LitmusChaos, or Chaos Mesh. Run in production during low-traffic periods. Verify your resilience mechanisms actually work.
Answer
Inject controlled failures to test system resilience. Tools: Chaos Monkey, Gremlin. Ensures microservices can withstand unexpected issues.
