Very interesting. However, this won't catch bugs that don't cause instance outages. I suppose the next step to is to somehow simulate misconfigurations/overloaded services/unexpected errors (I have no idea how this would work).

Netflix actually has a whole Simian Army (http://techblog.netflix.com/2011/07/netflix-simian-army.html) which includes in addition to Chaos Monkey: Latency Monkey, Chaos Gorrila, Conformity Monkey, etc.

We actually have those too. Right now in fact we're doing a series of latency simulations.
