AI Technical Summary
Chaos engineering in multitenant cloud environments is challenging due to the difficulty in controlling the scope of experiments, as decisions are made by development teams rather than tenant owners, and current solutions lack tenant-specific execution capabilities.
Implement secure tenant-based chaos experiments using certificates, where a computer system receives an indication of execution scope from a tenant, identifies a public key from a certificate chain, encrypts the experiment, and executes it within the specified scope using a private key stored in a key store associated with the tenant.
Ensures secure, tenant-specific execution of chaos experiments, providing flexibility in scope from broad to granular levels, and prevents execution on incorrect tenants or resources, enhancing security and control.
