Background
Nora Jones joined the Chaos Engineering team at Netflix as an engineer and technical leader, and was responsible for significant architectural decisions about the chaos tooling. She studied Human Factors and Safety Systems at Lund University. She gave a keynote on Chaos Engineering at AWS re:Invent 2017 to over 40,000 in-person attendees and 20,000 streaming. Co-founder (with Casey Rosenthal) of the Chaos Engineering community.
Core Positions
- Chaos Engineering is grounded in resilience engineering and the human factors / safety science tradition (Dekker, Hollnagel, Allspaw).
- Chaos Engineering must address sociotechnical systems — the human and organisational side is as important as the technical side.
- Chaos Engineering has moved from "should we do this?" to "what's the best way to get started?" — adoption is no longer a question; quality of practice is.
