> We could inject controlled faults in to simulated hypervisors, network elements, storage resources, system VM's and try out tests for testing the resiliency of CloudStack core.
> For example, we can have test case (that runs only for Simulator)  where we instruct a simulated hypervisor resource to not to respond to ping from CloudStack. Expected result would be core to treat hypervisor host as disconnected and trigger HA enabled VM's.
> My initial thinking is to expose set of test API from simulator plug-in that would help inject transient/permanent/intermittent faults into simulated resources like
>  - host that lost network connectivity with MS
>  - delayed response to agent commands (simulate overloaded hypervisor stacks like XAPI, vCenter) and long running tasks like snapshots
>  - non responding edge service VM's
> need to think little more on the failure categories and points, and best abstract them test API so that can enable flexible and rich resilience tests.
