Misconfigured failure recovery policies (e.g., incompatible/restrictive timeouts across service calls) could result in continued unavailability of critical services in the application, resulting in poor user experience.</p><p>Istio enables protocol-specific fault injection into the network, instead of killing pods, delaying or corrupting packets at TCP layer. Our rationale is that the failures observed by the application layer are the same regardless of network level failures, and that more meaningful failures can be injected at the application layer (e.g., HTTP error codes) to exercise the resilience of an application.</p><p>Operators can configure faults to be injected into requests that match specific criteria. Operators can further restrict the percentage of requests that should be subjected to faults. Two types of faults can be injected: delays and aborts. Delays are timing failures, mimicking increased network latency, or an overloaded upstream service. Aborts are crash failures that mimick failures in upstream services. Aborts usually manifest in the form of HTTP error codes, or TCP connection failures.</p><p>Refer to <a href="./rules-configuration.html">Istios traffic management rules</a> for more details.</p></div></div></div></div></div></div><script src="/v0.4/js/sidebar.min.js"></script><footer><div class="container"><div class="row"><div class="col-lg-2 col-md-2 col-sm-2"></div><div class="col-lg-3 col-md-3 col-sm-3 col-xs-12 center-block"><ul><li><a class="header" href="/v0.4/docs/welcome">Docs</a></li><li><a href="/v0.4/docs/concepts">Concepts</a></li><li><a href="/v0.4/docs/setup">Setup</a></li><li><a href="/v0.4/docs/tasks">Tasks</a></li><li><a href="/v0.4/docs/guides">Guides</a></li><li><a href="/v0.4/docs/reference">Reference</a></li></ul></div><div class="col-lg-3 col-md-3 col-sm-3 col-xs-12 center-block"><ul><li><a class="header" href="/v0.4/help">Help</a></li><li><a href="/v0.4/faq">FAQ</a></li><li><a href="/v0.4/glossary">Glossary</a></li><li><a href="/v0.4/troubleshooting">Troubleshooting</a></li><li><a href="/v0.4/bugs">Report Bugs</a></li><li><a href="https://github.com/istio/istio.github.io/issues/new?title=Issue with _docs/concepts/traffic-management/fault-injection.md">Doc Bugs & Gaps</a></li><li><a href="https://github.com/istio/istio.github.io/edit/master/_docs/concepts/traffic-management/fault-injection.md">Edit This Page</a></li></ul></div><div class="col-lg-3 col-md-3 col-sm-3 col-xs-12 center-block"><ul><li> <a class="header" href="/v0.4/community">Community</a></li><li> <a href="https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/istio-users" target="_blank" rel="noopener">User</a> | <a href="https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/istio-dev" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dev Mailing Lists</a></li><li><a href="https://twitter.com/IstioMesh" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Twitter</a></li><li><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/istio" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Stack Overflow</a></li><li><a href="https://github.com/istio/community" target="_blank" rel="noopener">GitHub</a></li><li><a href="https://github.com/istio/community/blob/master/WORKING-GROUPS.md" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Working Groups</a></li></ul></div><div class="col-lg-1 col-md-1 col-sm-1"></div></div><div class="row"><p class="description small text-center"> Istio 0.4, Copyright &copy; 2017 Istio Authors<br> Archived on 20-Dec-2017</p></div></div></footer><script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery-validate/1.15.0/jquery.validate.min.js"></script> <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery.form/4.2.1/jquery.form.min.js"></script> <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery-visible/1.2.0/jquery.visible.min.js"></script> <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.12.1/jquery-ui.min.js"></script> <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/slick-carousel/1.6.0/slick.min.js"></script> <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/clipboard.js/1.7.1/clipboard.min.js"></script> <script src="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script> <script src="/v0.4/js/common.min.js"></script> <script src="/v0.4/js/search.js"></script> <script src="/v0.4/js/prism.min.js"></script></body></html>
