Public Preview: Azure Chaos Studio Workspaces and Scenarios
Azure Chaos StudioIn previewAzure update
Azure Chaos Studio now supports Workspaces and Scenarios, a faster, application-centric way to validate how your workloads hold up during real outages.
Point a Workspace at your application's scope—a subscription, resource group, or service group—and Chaos Studio discovers the resources inside it and recommends Scenarios: preconfigured tests that reproduce real-world outage patterns. Select a Scenario, and Chaos Studio injects the right faults, in the right order, across every affected resource, then produces a Scenario report showing exactly what happened.
With Workspaces and Scenarios, you can:
- Simulate common outage patterns out of the box, including availability zone failures, DNS and Microsoft Entra ID outages, PostgreSQL and SQL Managed Instance failovers, cache stampedes, and messaging disruptions.
- Keep tests in sync as your app changes—resources are discovered automatically from the Workspace scope.
- Control the blast radius with a managed identity governed by Azure RBAC.
- Generate Scenario reports for game days, retrospectives, and compliance frameworks such as DORA.
