New fault action in AWS FIS to inject I/O latency on Amazon EBS volumes
News
AWS has introduced a new latency injection action in AWS Fault Injection Service (FIS) for Amazon EBS volumes, enabling controlled testing of storage performance under simulated fault conditions.
- Allows injection of I/O latency on EBS volumes to test application resilience
- Simulates real-world storage performance issues and disruptions
- Helps build confidence in application recovery and monitoring processes
- Provides pre-defined experiment templates in EBS and FIS consoles
- Can be integrated with chaos engineering, CI/CD, and release testing
- Available in all AWS regions where FIS is supported
The new feature enables organizations to proactively test and improve the reliability of mission-critical applications running on EBS volumes.
