# AWS Fault Injection Simulator Experiment

AWS Fault Injection Simulator Experiment is a managed service resource that allows users to run controlled chaos engineering experiments on AWS workloads. It helps identify weaknesses by injecting faults such as latency, instance termination, or API throttling into applications. The experiment defines actions, targets, and stop conditions to safely test system resilience and improve reliability.
