SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR TESTING DISTRIBUTED SYSTEMS USING INJECTED NETWORK PARTITIONS

Abstract: disclosed herein are systems and method for testing distributed systems using injected network partitions. a method may include monitoring communication between a plurality of computing devices in a distributed system to identify each communication link that exists between two respective computing devices in the distributed system. the method may include generating a communications list comprising a plurality of computing device pairs and injecting a network partition in at least one pair of the plurality of computing device pairs. the method may include detecting whether a performance degradation greater than a threshold performance occurs in response to the network partition. in response to detecting the performance degradation greater than the threshold performance, the method may include generating and transmitting a security report indicative of the performance degradation and the at least one pair of the plurality of computing device pairs causing the performance degradation.
