I agree with Arcsech in that Chaos Engineering is most useful in the context of distributed systems. However, this doesn't mean that you can't learn something new from experimenting in, say, a local VM.

As a matter of fact, Netflix is running a big distributed system, so that's where they focus their testing efforts. In general, I think it's fair to talk about Chaos Engineering and systems in the general sense, distributed or not.
