Wish we lived in the universe where the term 'monkey' won over 'agent'. Would have given everything a cool Planet of the Apes feel.

I remember this getting a lot of buzz at the time, but few orgs are at the level of sophistication to implement chaos testing effectively.

Companies all want a robust DR strategy, but most outages are self-inflicted and time spent on DR would be better spent improving DX, testing, deployment and rollback.
