Using other chaos libraries as plugins
Litmus provides a way to use any chaos library or a tool to inject chaos. The chaos tool to be compatible with Litmus should satisfy the following requirements:
- Should be available as a Docker Image
- Should take configuration through a
config-map
The plugins or chaos-libraries host the core logic to inject chaos.
These plugins are hosted at https://github.com/litmuschaos/litmus-ansible/tree/master/chaoslib
Litmus project has integration into the following chaos-libraries.
| Chaos Library | Logo | Experiments covered |
|---|---|---|
| Litmus | Litmus native chaos libraries that encompasses the chaos capabilities for pod-kill, container-kill, cpu-hog | |
| Pumba | ![]() | Pumba provides chaos capabilities for network-delay |
| PowerfulSeal | ![]() | PowerfulSeal provides chaos capabilities for pod-kill |
Usage of plugins is a configuration parameter inside the chaos experiment.
