Chaos-Charts is a repository of chaos engineering experiment bundles organized as Kubernetes resources in YAML format.
The project addresses the need to systematically test Kubernetes cluster resilience by providing pre-packaged chaos faults grouped into logical charts. These faults target different layers: Kubernetes resources themselves, applications running on Kubernetes, and the underlying platform infrastructure. Users can deploy these experiment bundles directly into their clusters to validate how systems behave under failure conditions.
Teams adopting this tool should understand that it serves as a curated collection of chaos experiments rather than the orchestration engine itself—it works within the Litmus Chaos ecosystem. The repository is most suitable for organizations running Kubernetes who want to practice chaos engineering with standardized, reusable fault definitions. The YAML-based approach means experiments integrate naturally with Kubernetes workflows and GitOps practices.
The project maintains active development with continuous integration workflows and Docker image builds. Community engagement is supported through Slack channels and social media presence, indicating ongoing maintenance and user interaction.
