    "patent_abstract": "One embodiment sets forth a technique for automatically identifying clusters within a network to be tested for resilience. The technique includes the steps of determining that a first condition precedent for testing a first cluster within the network for resilience has been satisfied; determining that the first cluster should be tested for resilience based on a first property associated with the first cluster; in response to determining that the first condition precedent has been satisfied and determining that the first cluster should be tested for resilience, generating a cluster resilience test package for the first cluster; automatically causing the first cluster to be tested under a cluster resilience test in accordance with the cluster resilience test package. Another embodiment sets forth techniques for automatically carrying out the cluster resilience test in accordance with the cluster resilience test package.",
