AWS Fault Injection Service introduces additional safety control

The article discusses an update to the AWS Fault Injection Service (FIS) that introduces an additional safety control called the "safety lever".

Specifically, the article covers:

• The safety lever is a new feature that allows customers to stop all running experiments and prevent new ones from starting.
• Customers can use the safety lever to prevent fault injection during critical events like sales or product launches, or when application health alarms are triggered.
• FIS already had safety guardrails like stop conditions that automatically stop experiments when alarms are triggered.
• The safety lever adds an extra layer of control, allowing customers to manually stop all experiments across their account(s).
• The safety lever is generally available in all AWS regions where FIS is available, including AWS GovCloud, at no additional cost.
