Linux host failure

What this Scenario does

This Scenario shuts down a percentage of your Linux hosts, simulating real-world hardware failures, power outages, or cloud instance terminations. It lets you observe whether your infrastructure can handle the loss of multiple hosts simultaneously.

‍

Why run this Scenario?

• Validate that your load balancers detect failed Linux hosts and redistribute traffic to healthy ones.
• Test your infrastructure's capacity to absorb workload when hosts are lost.
• Verify that auto-recovery mechanisms (such as cloud auto-scaling groups) replace failed Linux instances.
• Build confidence in your migration to cloud-based infrastructure by understanding host failure behavior.

‍

Expected outcome

When a percentage of Linux hosts are shut down, remaining hosts absorb the workload and services continue running without interruption.
