Litmus Building Blocks: ChaosEngine vs ChaosExperiment
You install Litmus on a cluster and want to kill a pod to see what happens. Walk me through the pieces Litmus gives you, and what is the actual difference between a ChaosExperiment and a ChaosEngine?
JuniorbeginnerRunning Your First Pod-Delete Experiment Safely
I hand you a fresh cluster with a demo nginx deployment. Take me from nothing to a controlled pod-delete experiment. What are the steps, and how do you keep it from turning into an outage?
MidintermediateHow Litmus Decides Pass or Fail: Probes
Your pod-delete experiment shows Pass, but during the run users got 502s for about 20 seconds. How can the experiment pass while the service was actually down, and how do you fix that?
MidintermediateFrom One Experiment to Continuous Chaos at Scale
You have proven a single pod-delete works. Leadership now wants chaos as an ongoing practice across dozens of services and several clusters, not a one-off demo. What changes, and what would you do differently at scale?
SenioradvancedScoping Litmus Safely: RBAC and Blast Radius
Your security team sees that Litmus can delete pods and inject network faults cluster-wide, and they want it gone. How do you scope Litmus so you can still run chaos in production without handing it the keys to the cluster?
