# FIS Recommender - AWS Solutions Library Submission
## Executive Summary
The **FIS Recommender** is an AI-powered chaos engineering assistant that automatically recommends AWS Fault Injection Simulator (FIS) experiments based on operational findings. Deployed as a remote MCP (Model Context Protocol) server on Amazon Bedrock AgentCore, it enables customers to quickly design and implement chaos engineering experiments to validate system resilience.
## Solution Overview
### Problem Statement
Organizations struggle to translate operational incidents and DevOps findings into actionable chaos engineering experiments. Manual creation of FIS experiment templates is time-consuming and requires deep knowledge of AWS FIS actions across 50+ AWS services.
### Solution
An intelligent MCP server that:
1. Analyzes operational findings from DevOps agents or incident reports
2. Recommends appropriate FIS experiments based on 50+ pre-configured mappings
3. Generates deployment-ready FIS experiment templates
4. Provides chaos engineering best practices and safety guidelines
### Key Benefits
