Algorithms: Design and Analysis, Part 1

I’ve been busy and little bit lazy in the last week. As a result, I had to do my assignments around midnight of Sunday but I did it! I scored 4.00/5.00 on Problem Set #2, 5.00/5.00 on Programming Question #2.

Amazon’s “GameDay” program

Resilience Engineering: Learning to Embrace Failure

In the early 2000s, Amazon created GameDay, a program designed to increase resilience by purposely injecting major failures into critical systems semi-regularly to discover flaws and subtle dependencies. Basically, a GameDay exercise tests a company’s systems, software, and people in the course of preparing for a response to a disastrous event. Widespread acceptance of the GameDay concept has taken a few years, but many companies now see its value and have started to adopt their own versions. This discussion considers some of those experiences.
