Overview

LitmusChaos is an open source Chaos Engineering platform that enables teams to identify weaknesses & potential outages in infrastructures by inducing chaos tests in a controlled way. Developers & SREs can practice Chaos Engineering with LitmusChaos as it is easy to use, based on modern Chaos Engineering principles & community collaborated. It is 100% open source & a CNCF project.

LitmusChaos takes a cloud-native approach to create, manage and monitor chaos. The platform itself runs as a set of microservices and uses Kubernetes custom resources (CRs) to define the chaos intent, as well as the steady state hypothesis.

At a high-level, Litmus comprises of:

architecture summary

At the heart of the platform are the following chaos custom resources:

The ChaosExperiment & ChaosEngine CRs are embedded within a Workflow object that can string together one or more experiments in a desired order.

ChaosExperiment CRs are hosted on <a href="https://hub.litmuschaos.io" target="_blank">hub.litmuschaos.io</a>. It is a central hub where the application developers or vendors share their chaos experiments so that their users can use them to increase the resilience of the applications in production.
