Usage

How to control the experiment.

go-chaos has different parameters to control the chaos experiments executed in the infrastructure.

Job config.

• region: Find resources in specific region, exclusive to cloud providers such as aws, gcp (Optional).
• project: Find resources in specific project, exclusive to gcp.
• namespace: Find resources such as pods and deployments in specific namespace, exclusive to kubernetes provider (Optional).

Chaos config.

• tag: Single tag to find resources (for both k8s and cloud providers).
• chaos: Parameter that performs a specific action on resources found, depends on resource.
• count: Integer that defines the number of resources to apply the chaos parameter mentioned above.

Script config.

The same parameters can be passed to scripts as part.

job "script" "python3:script.py" {
    region = "us-west-2"
    namespace = "default"
    project = "project1
    config {
        tag = "myapp" 
        chaos = "terminate"    
        count = 3
    }
}

In this example a python3 script called script.py will be executed by go-chaos, the parameters are available as environment variablers in the session. The executable python3 needs to be available in system $PATH.

{
    "REGION" : region,
    "PROJECT" : project,
    "NAMESPACE" : namespace, 
    "TAG" : tag,
    "CHAOS" : chaos,
    "NUMBER": number
}
