Start an experiment from a template - AWS Fault Injection Service

Start an experiment from a template

After you have created an experiment template, you can start experiments using that template.

When you start an experiment, we create a snapshot of the specified template and use that snapshot to run the experiment. Therefore, if the experiment template is updated or deleted while the experiment is running, those changes have no impact on the running experiment.

When you start an experiment, AWS FIS creates a service-linked role on your behalf. For more information, see Use service-linked roles for AWS Fault Injection Service.

After you start the experiment, you can stop it at any time. For more information, see Stop an experiment.
