I'm a big believer in #ChaosMonkey. In companies like the ones i've worked in, every DevOps engineer has a requirement that their production services are sufficiently redundant to stay up even if one server dies. The looming threat of Chaos Monkey keeps them honest & compliant.

Was doing some house chores when my #SynologyNas started beeping.

It turns out, my 3 year old daughter climbed up a book case and started pulling out hard drives. Two of my drives are now in bad states.

On the plus side:
- Everything is backed up elsewhere, so I *should* be able to recover.
- I have a long weekend where I can put my recovery process to the test.
- I have an excuse to buy a new drive.
- I have my own 3 year old #ChaosMonkey.

My only regret from leaving the #BirdSite is that I can’t directly observe what the #ChaosMonkey CEO is doing today.

Oh mais il existe même des outils open-source pour créer du chaos automatiquement dans son infra 😋​
