How does this compare against chaos monkey?

  PingCAP engineer here. ChaosMonkey is implemented by Netflix and focuses on testing microservice systems by terminating virtual machine instances and containers. Chaos Monkey is the pioneer project of Chaos Engineering, from which we draw a lot inspirations. Compared to ChaosMonkey, Chaos Mesh focuses on kubernetes platform currently and provides more rich fault injection methods for complex systems, such as faults injection into network and file system. Kernel injection will also be supported in the fulture.

    Okay. It would nice if this detail were to be added to the README of the repo.

      Thanks for your advice, we will update the README ASAP.

How incompetent does a company have to be to first adopt kubernetes and then turn around and run chaos eng on it? How do these people even get hired?

Would be nice if it could be used to simulate preetible vm from gcp, is it possible?
- wavefunction 7y ago
  Isn't gcp going away in two years? Or at least speculated to given the leak about winding it down if they can't beat AWS and Azure for market share?

    While that leak was certainly damaging, I doubt GCP is going anywhere in two years. If Google's strategy to catch up to AWS and Azure fails to gain them meaningful market share, I would expect them to change their behavior to succeed. It's good business. n.b.: Azure employee.

  PingCAP dev here. Yes, We have the plan but have not started it yet. You can see the "chaos-cloud" TODO here https://github.com/pingcap/chaos-mesh#roadmap https://github.com/pingcap/chaos-mesh#roadmap. Feel free to tell us your idea of doing the chaos for AWS and GCP.

I'm personally using chaos-toolkit with the kubernetes and istio drivers. I haven't dug too much into this yet, but will. Thanks for the hard work!
