 Reliability to me signifies the absence of uncertainty.  Whenever we go to production, we don't want anything to be unknown.

We intentionally inject the failures into the system, and then that basically enhances our confidence, looking at how the operation and app support reacts to that one. Where is the problem and what is the root cause? And what is our recovery mechanism? If these particular kind of events happen or disaster happens, how we are going to recover, how quickly we can recover, what are the consequences of that?

You have the other factors, also. You don't want any kind of outages, your business should continue as it is, even though there are a few components that fail, you should be able to monitor as soon as possible if any events happen. Everything should be known to the operation and the app support team.

Enhance the confidence that my application is good to go into production, my teams are ready, my operational teams are ready, my app support teams are ready.
