plugins Using other chaos libraries as plugins Plugins 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

Pumba Pumba provides chaos capabilities for network-delay
