Make Applications more Resilient on Kubernetes by adding Chaos Engineering
New Chapter in the Amazon Web Services Workshop uses the Chaos Toolkit to apply Chaos Engineering to Kubernetes
We’re very proud to announce today our contribution to the freely available AWS Workshop, the new “Applying Chaos Engineering” chapter.
Learning about Weaknesses by Targeting Kubernetes with Chaos Experiments
The new AWS Workshop chapter explores the practices of chaos engineering and then how they can be implemented using the free and open source Chaos Toolkit to explore the weaknesses that may be present in a Kubernetes cluster.
Kubernetes has been a part of the Chaos Toolkit’s mission from the beginning of the project, so it’s hugely rewarding to work closely with the folks at AWS to apply chaos engineering as a learning showcase such as this.
Next Steps
The AWS Workshop is delivered by Arun Gupta and his colleagues all across the planet as demos in actual workshops, as well as demos in keynote talks as well.
Putting together this introduction to doing chaos engineering has been extremely fun and we hope you enjoy this first taste of chaos engineering against Kubernetes, but…
… there’s lots more that can be explored in terms of Kubernetes, including extending the chaos to items such as its control plane for those hosting Kubernetes as a PaaS.
We want you! Get Involved in the Chaos Toolkit
The Chaos Toolkit is a free and open source chaos engineering toolkit and community. If you’d like to get involved, or have any questions around the toolkit, then the best place to head is our community Slack team or raise an issue on the Chaos Toolkit project.
