Do you want to bring chaos engineering into your cloud and Kubernetes development? In short, do you want to beat up your applications in development before the real world of production gets its chance to knock them around? If so, you’ll be glad to know that the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) Technical Oversight Committee (TOC) has pushed LitmusChaos from the CNCF Sandbox to the Incubation level.

LitmusChaos is, of course, an open source chaos engineering platform. It enables you to identify weaknesses and potential outages in infrastructures by inducing chaos tests in a controlled way. It does this by providing you with well-tested, highly tunable, and declarative chaos experiments.

With LitmusChaos you can chain tests either in sequence or in parallel to build a chaos scenario. The workflows themselves are declarative, schedulable, and browsable. You can also run workflow analytics.

The idea of cloud native chaos engineering is to make certain every component responsible for an entire application’s proper functioning is resilient and capable of sustaining real-life turbulent conditions. LitmusChaos enables you to bring chaos to the entire application, rather than just a specific microservice.
