  • Patent number: 11777831
    Abstract: Techniques are described herein that are capable of performing an aggregation-based determination of resiliency of a cloud computing service to chaos events. Chaos events are executed against a cloud computing service during a time frame that includes multiple time periods. For each chaos event, service health indexes (SHIs) that correspond to the time periods are calculated. Each SHI indicates an extent to which indicators, which represent respective measurements of performance of the cloud computing service during the respective time period, satisfy respective criteria. The SHIs for each chaos event are analyzed to provide a respective resiliency score. At least some of the resiliency scores of the respective chaos events are aggregated to provide an aggregated resiliency score, which represents resiliency of the cloud computing service to the chaos events.
