Chaos Engineering is a discipline that tests system resilience by injecting controlled failures into distributed systems. Python, with its rich ecosystem of libraries, plays a pivotal role in automating chaos experiments and enhancing observability during failure scenarios. This presentation explores how Python can be used to simulate failures in cloud-native applications, monitor system behavior, and collect critical observability data such as logs, metrics, and traces. By integrating Python with tools like OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, and Grafana, developers can gain insights into system weaknesses and improve reliability. The session highlights practical examples of Python scripts for chaos experiments and observability in modern infrastructures.
