Amazon Fault Injection Simulator
AWS Fault Injection Simulator (FIS) is a fully managed service for running fault injection experiments on AWS. It allows you to improve an application's performance, observability, and resiliency by identifying and fixing weaknesses through controlled chaos engineering experiments.
Amazon Fault Injection Simulator publishes 6 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Actions API, Experiment Templates API, Experiments API, and 3 more. Tagged areas include Chaos Engineering, DevOps, Fault Injection, and Resilience Testing.
The Amazon Fault Injection Simulator catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context and 3 Spectral governance rulesets.
Amazon Fault Injection Simulator’s developer surface includes authentication, developer portal, documentation, support, engineering blog, developer console, signup flow, and 22 more developer resources.
