• write
• validate
• plan
• destroy

Start by creating a directory

mkdir chaosExperiment && cd chaosExperiment

Create a simple chaos config file and name it experiment.hcl

app = "ProdApp"
description = "this is a chaos engineering experiment" 

job "aws" "ec2" {
    region = "us-east-1"
    config {
        tag = "Name:prod-web-server"
        chaos = "terminate"
        count = 6
    }
}

Execute the experiment:

go-chaos destroy experiment.hcl

This last experiment will terminate 6 EC2 instances with the tag Name:prod-web-server in region us-east-1
