The record

Purpose: AWS FIS runs fault injection experiments on AWS workloads to help teams improve application performance, observability, and resilience.
Managed service: FIS is fully managed and its experiments can run without installing agents for many action types.
Agent exception: Instance-level CPU and memory utilization faults require the SSM agent.
Scenario library: The FIS Scenario Library provides AWS-created experiment templates for testing disruptions ranging from partial failures to more severe impacts.
Safety controls: Experiments can use tags to select targets and CloudWatch alarms or other tools to stop an experiment when conditions are met.
Rollback: FIS supports automatically rolling back or stopping an experiment when specified conditions are met.
Monitoring: FIS supports Amazon CloudWatch metrics for monitoring experiments and shows experiment progress and action details through its console and APIs.
Integrations: FIS can be accessed through the AWS Management Console, CLI, SDKs, CloudFormation, and HTTPS API, and its APIs can be used in CI/CD pipelines and custom tooling.
Audit trail: AWS states that FIS generates CloudTrail logs for actions it takes on AWS resources during an experiment.
Access security: FIS integrates with AWS Identity and Access Management to control who can run experiments and which resources and services can be affected.
Transport security: FIS API clients must support TLS 1.2, and AWS recommends TLS 1.3.
Operational scope: For a single-account experiment, target resources must be in the experiment's AWS account; multi-account experiments can target resources in other accounts.
Real resource effects: FIS carries out real actions on real AWS resources, and AWS recommends planning experiments and running them in pre-production before production use.
Report charge: Experiment reports summarizing actions and application response from a customer-provided CloudWatch Dashboard cost $5 per report.
