What follows is the text of my presentation, Chaos Testing for Docker Containers that I gave at ContainerCamp in London this year. I’ve also decided to turn the presentation into an article. I edited the text slightly for readability and added some links for more context. You can find the original video recording and slides at the end of this post.

Docker has accelerated this by providing an easy to use toolset for development teams to build, ship, and run distributed applications. These applications can be composed of hundreds of microservices packaged in Docker containers.
