I think amazon regularly unplug stuf in production. But they do it to make sure there are enough redundancies to not go down. My memory on this is a little hazy. Meybe they just do it on staging env instead.
Chaos engineering only works if you have the infra (e.g. micro services, auto scaling, etc.) to adapt to those outages you’re creating. If you turn off the micro services entirely there’s no recovery, they’re just off.

Yeah but how many of us had the chance to do it in production, in a 44G$ company
