Chaos Engineering: Practice for the on-call Engineer

[Lightning talk at PagerDuty Summit 2019]
Let’s talk about how we can make on-call training and onboarding better.
What if… we can actually create incidents, intentionally, with Chaos Engineering Experiments.
Let’s bring Fire Drill to Technical Operations, to your SRE team.
I encourage everyone to go practice incidents with chaos engineering.
Go Break Things on Purpose.
