Netflix releases their "Chaos Monkey" fault system

http://j.mp/M66JPw  (Netflix Tech Blog)

   "We have found that the best defense against major unexpected failures
    is to fail often. By frequently causing failures, we force our
    services to be built in a way that is more resilient. We are excited
    to make a long-awaited announcement today that will help others who
    embrace this approach.  We have written about our Simian Army in the
    past and we are now proud to announce that the source code for the
    founding member of the Simian Army, Chaos Monkey, is available to the
    community.  Do you think your applications can handle a troop of
    mischievous monkeys loose in your infrastructure? Now you can find out."
