[ NNSquad ] DiRT, Google's annual disaster recovery exercise revealed
DiRT, Google's annual disaster recovery exercise revealed http://j.mp/Qsuabv (ACM) DiRT was developed to find vulnerabilities in critical systems and business processes by intentionally causing failures in them, and to fix them before such failures happen in an uncontrolled manner. DiRT tests both Google's technical robustness, by breaking live systems, and our operational resilience by explicitly preventing critical personnel, area experts, and leaders from participating. Where we are not resilient but should be, we try to fix it.
