Gremlin – Chaos Engineering & Resilience Testing – Online Course
 
Gremlin: Chaos Engineering & Resilience Testing is a complete, hands-on course designed for DevOps engineers, Site Reliability Engineers (SREs), cloud architects, and platform teams who want to improve system reliability by proactively testing failures in a controlled, safe environment.
 
What is Gremlin?
 
Gremlin is a leading commercial chaos engineering platform that allows teams to simulate real-world failures, test system resilience, and identify weaknesses before they affect users. It offers a safe, controlled environment for injecting faults such as CPU spikes, network latency, memory exhaustion, and shutdowns across cloud, hybrid, and on-premises infrastructures.
 
Gremlin focuses on "Failure as a Service", providing pre-built attack templates, agent-based chaos injection, and enterprise-grade safety mechanisms like blast radius control, scheduling, and automated rollback. It integrates with Kubernetes, cloud providers, and CI/CD pipelines to bring chaos testing into production or staging environments confidently.
 
How to Use This Course
 
This course combines theory and real-world labs to help you build confidence in chaos engineering using Gremlin:
  1. Learn Core Principles – Understand chaos engineering fundamentals and Gremlin’s platform approach.
  2. Hands-On Setup – Install Gremlin agents in cloud VMs, Kubernetes clusters, or bare-metal environments.
  3. Run Chaos Experiments – Use Gremlin's UI and CLI to simulate CPU, memory, network, and stateful faults.
  4. Analyze Impact – Integrate with observability tools (Datadog, Prometheus, Grafana) to visualize experiment results.
  5. Automate and Scale – Build resilience testing workflows and incorporate Gremlin attacks into CI/CD pipelines.
By the end of this course, you will master chaos experiments in safe, repeatable, and enterprise-ready ways, ensuring that your systems can withstand real-world outages and performance issues.
