About Chaos Mesh

Chaos Mesh brings fault simulation to Kubernetes and provides capability to orchestrate fault scenarios. It helps simulate abnormalities that might occur during development, testing, and production environments to find potential problems in the system. It abstracts real-world events into objects that can be directly applied, hiding the trivial details. It leverages CustomResourceDefinitions for integration with the Kubernetes ecosystem. It provides fault types for networks, disks, file systems, and operating systems. Chaos Mesh is a Cloud Native Computing Foundation incubating project.

Products
