15. Network fails
16. “A Distributed System is one in which the failure of a computer you didn’t even know existed can render your own computer unusable” Leslie Lamport
18. Network Model
19. "Ozzy" Model?
21. 200.124.124.1 200.0.124.5 200.5.34.12 200.3.5.51 200.3.5.52
22. 200.124.124.1 200.0.124.5 200.5.34.12 200.3.5.51 200.3.5.52 200.124.124.1:80 -> 200.3.5.52:80
23. Networking Problems
24. No connection No connection between parts Latency Timeout Bandwidth Slow Close Time to packages go and return Stop responding Bandwidth size in Mb/s Slow close connection
25. What are we testing?
26. How your app responds to network errors
27. User perception to network problem Business rule to the problem Technical action to the problem
28. Resiliency
29. How to simulate?
30. Hard modify a staging env Hard to automate Low level tools -> For sysadmins No APIs for Devs or QA
