-## Introduction
+Chaos engineering in LocalStack helps you build more resilient systems by deliberately introducing controlled disruptions into your cloud environment. Simulating failures early in the development process helps teams proactively uncover weaknesses, improve error handling, and validate system behavior under stress.
 
-Chaos engineering via LocalStack is a method to enhance system resilience by deliberately introducing controlled disruptions.
-This technique takes different forms depending on the team:
+Different teams benefit from chaos engineering in different ways:
 
-- Software developers focus on application behavior and error response
-- Architects concentrate on the strength of system design
-- Operations teams investigate the dependability of infrastructure setup.
+- Software Developers test application logic and error response behavior
+- Architects evaluate the robustness of system design
+- Operations teams investigate infrastructure reliability under adverse conditions
 
-Integrating chaos tests early in the development process helps identify and mitigate potential flaws, leading to systems that are more robust under stress and can withstand turbulent conditions.
-Chaos engineering in LocalStack encompasses the following features:
+LocalStack supports the following chaos engineering features:
 
-- **Application behavior and error management** through Fault Injection Service (FIS) experiments.
-- **Robust architecture** tested via failover scenarios using the Chaos API.
-- **Consistent infrastructure setup** under challenging conditions like outages, examined through automated provisioning processes.
+- **Application behavior and error management**: AWS Fault Injection Service (FIS) simulates errors and latency
+- **Robust architecture**: Failover testing and resilience validation via the Chaos API
+- **Consistent infrastructure setup**: Disruption-tolerant provisioning to verify consistent infrastructure under unstable conditions
 
-The best way to understand concepts is through practice, so dive into our [chaos engineering tutorials](/aws/tutorials).
+The best way to get started is by practicing running experiments yourself. Check out our [chaos engineering tutorials](/aws/tutorials).

 ## Introduction
 
-LocalStack Cloud Sandbox allow you to run an LocalStack instance in the cloud.
-LocalStack Cloud Sandbox encompasses the following features:
+LocalStack Cloud Sandbox lets you deploy a fully functional LocalStack instance in the cloud instead of running it locally. This enables new workflows for testing, previewing, and collaboration across teams.
 
-- Deploy LocalStack as an ephemeral instance for dev&test loops without running it locally.
-- Create easy previews by enabling preview-per-PR type workflows for application change.
-- Facilitate collaboration by allowing developers to test features on the same environment.
+Key use cases include:
+
+- Running ephemeral instances locally for dev/test loops in CI
+- Generating on-demand preview environments by enabling preview-per-PR type workflows
+- Facilitate collaboration by sharing a consistent testing environment for all developers
 
 :::note

-State Management in LocalStack allows you to save and load the state of your LocalStack instance.
-LocalStack is ephemeral in nature, so when you stop and restart your LocalStack instance, all the data is lost.
-With State Management, you can save the state of your LocalStack instance and load it back when you restart your LocalStack instance.
+LocalStack is designed to be ephemeral by default, meaning all state is lost when the container stops. State Management gives you tools to persist, reuse, and share the state of your LocalStack instance across sessions or teams. This is useful for preloading test data, debugging workflows, or collaborating with teammates.
 
-State Management in LocalStack encompasses the following features:
+LocalStack supports three ways to manage and reuse state:
 
-* [**Cloud Pods**](/aws/capabilities/state-management/cloud-pods): Cloud Pods are persistent state snapshots of your LocalStack instance that can easily be shared, stored, versioned, and restored.
-* [**Export & Import State**](/aws/capabilities/state-management/export-import-state): Export and import the state of your LocalStack instance on your local machine as a local file.
-* [**Persistence**](/aws/capabilities/state-management/persistence): Persist the state of your LocalStack instance on your local machine using a configuration variable.
+* [**Cloud Pods**](/aws/capabilities/state-management/cloud-pods): Shareable, versioned snapshots of your LocalStack instance that can be stored, restored, and synced via the LocalStack platform.
 
-Anything that is inside a LocalStack container constitutes the "state.” The "state" can either be persisted on your local
-machine and be loaded at startup (persistence), exported anytime as a single local file (state export), or stored on the LocalStack platform (cloud pods).
-The underlying mechanisms of all three solutions are similar, but the layout obviously differs.
-We can observe how using state
-locally and Cloud Pods are very similar, as they look like `local` and `remote` versions of the same bundle.
-To get a better understanding of how
-these three features differ, they can be illustrated as following:
+* [**Export & Import State**](/aws/capabilities/state-management/export-import-state): Save your instance state to a local file and reload it manually as needed.
+
+* [**Persistence**](/aws/capabilities/state-management/persistence): Automatically save and reload state locally by enabling a configuration flag.
+
+Internally, all three approaches manage the same container state. They just differ in how the state is stored and reused (local vs remote, manual vs automated). 
+
+The diagram below helps compare these options at a glance.
 
 ![The difference between persistence, local state and Cloud Pods.](/images/aws/persistence-pods-remote.png)
 
-State Management is an essential feature that supports various use-cases, such as pre-seeding your fresh LocalStack instance with data, sharing your LocalStack instance's state with your team, fostering collaboration, and more.
