Chaos Engineering on AWS: Your First Experiment with AWS FIS
A hands-on introduction to chaos engineering on AWS. Deploy a product catalog API backed by Aurora, then break it with AWS Fault Injection Service to find the gap between your architecture diagram and reality.
Chaos Engineering on AWS: Observability and Stop Conditions with CloudWatch and FIS
Add CloudWatch dashboards, alarms, and FIS stop conditions to your chaos engineering lab. See how guardrails automatically abort experiments when things go wrong.
Chaos Engineering on AWS: CPU, Memory, and Network Faults with AWS FIS and SSM
Inject CPU stress, memory pressure, network latency, and packet loss into a whole EC2 fleet with AWS FIS. Watch network faults turn a healthy service into 7-second page loads while every error dashboard stays green. Real Terraform, real numbers.
Build a Free AWS Security Lab on Your Laptop with LocalEmu
Spin up a local AWS, plant deliberately insecure resources, and run real security scanners against it. No account, no token, no cost, no risk.
Fixing EC2 Security Issues: A Practical Remediation Guide
Part 3 of 3 in the EC2 Security Series. A hands-on remediation guide mapped to the scanner findings: AWS CLI commands, Terraform snippets, and console steps for every category.
