Abstract: The reliability of an application is improved by analyzing and implementing changes to application infrastructure that is represented, in some examples, as Infrastructure as Code (“IAC”). The system performs various tests on the infrastructure to determine how the infrastructure responds to failures and whether recovery procedures and monitoring services in place are effective and functioning properly. Various examples provide a measure of infrastructure resiliency that can be used to evaluate potential changes to application infrastructure.

Abstract: Some aspects of what is described here relate to seismic profiling techniques. In some implementations, a time-sequence of seismic excitations are generated at seismic source locations in a first directional wellbore section in a subterranean region.
