A Python snippet demonstrating exponential backoff with jitter for retrying transient cloud API failures, using a simulated client that has a configurable success rate.
import random
import time
def exponential_backoff_with_jitter(retries=5, base_delay=0.5, max_delay=4.0, jitter_factor=0.3):
for attempt in range(1, retries + 1):
delay = min(max_delay, base_delay * (2 ** (attempt - 1)))
jitter = delay * random.uniform(-jitter_factor, jitter_factor)
