Amazon Elastic Container Services (Amazon ECS) now allows you to perform more types of fault injection experiments on your Amazon Fargate applications, including network faults. Fault injection experiments create disruptions so that you can observe how your application responds. You can then use this information to improve the performance and resiliency of your applications.
Amazon ECS is introducing the ability to opt-in to allow tasks to use a fault injector to perform network experiments such as increasing network latency, increasing packet loss, and blackhole port testing (dropping inbound or outbound traffic) to test how your applications perform, in addition to any existing experiments such as CPU stress, Memory Stress, or input/output traffic stress tests.
The new experience is now automatically enabled in all Amazon Web Services regions, including Amazon Web Services China (Beijing) Region, operated by Sinnet and Amazon Web Services China (Ningxia) Region, operated by NWCD.
