Getting Started With LitmusChaos (Chaos Engineering for Kubernetes) | CloudNative.fm Ep # 21

Chaos Engineering as technology is fundamental to achieving infrastructure resiliency. With Chaos Engineering adoption growing exponentially, it is key to understand one of the most sought after toolsets out there for the community that is LitmusChaos. In this episode of #CloudNaiveFM podcast we dive into why you need to have LitmusChaos in your Cloud Native Infrastructure and most importantly how to get started with using it.

⚒️ About the Technologies ⚒️

Litmus is a toolset to do cloud-native chaos engineering. Litmus provides tools to orchestrate chaos on Kubernetes to help SREs find weaknesses in their deployments. SREs use Litmus to run chaos experiments initially in the staging environment and eventually in production to find bugs, vulnerabilities. Fixing the weaknesses leads to increased resilience of the system.

Litmus takes a cloud-native approach to create, manage and monitor chaos. Chaos is orchestrated using the following Kubernetes Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs):

🔹 ChaosEngine: A resource to link a Kubernetes application or Kubernetes node to a - ChaosExperiment. ChaosEngine is watched by Litmus' Chaos-Operator which then invokes Chaos-Experiments.

🔹 ChaosExperiment: A resource to group the configuration parameters of a chaos experiment. ChaosExperiment CRs are created by the operator when experiments are invoked by ChaosEngine.

🔹 ChaosResult: A resource to hold the results of a chaos-experiment. The Chaos-exporter reads the results and exports the metrics into a configured Prometheus server.
