Litmus is an effective tool to cause chaos to test how your system will respond to failure.

Do you know how your system will respond to an arbitrary failure? Will your application fail? Will anything survive after a loss? If you’re not sure, it’s time to see if your system passes the Litmus test, a detailed way to cause chaos at random with many experiments.

In the first article in this series, I explained what chaos engineering is, and in the second article, I demonstrated how to get your system’s steady state so that you can compare it against a chaos state. This third article will show you how to install and use Litmus to test arbitrary failures and experiments in your Kubernetes cluster. In this walkthrough, I’ll use Pop!_OS 20.04, Helm 3, Minikube 1.14.2, and Kubernetes 1.19.
