  1. "To celebrate the end of the 2017 calendar year, the Elastic Engineering team will be publishing a series of Elastic Stack tips each day, from the 1st of December through the 25th of December[0]. As we are a distributed organisation, and with community members from all corners of the globe, you'll be seeing these threads in a variety of our native languages.

    For some examples of what to expect, here is a selection of upcoming topics:

    • How to make an Elasticsearch Ingest Plugin (in Japanese)
    • Upgrade to 6.x with reindex API and tips (in Chinese)
    • ECE: From the trenches (in English)
    • Kibana tips for new users (in English)"

You’ll never be able to prevent all possible failure modes, but you can identify many of the weaknesses in your system before they’re triggered by these events. This report introduces you to Chaos Engineering, a method of experimenting on infrastructure that lets you expose weaknesses before they become a real problem.
