This repository is the canonical source for the chaos charts that Chaos Charts are a groups of categorized chaos experiments, represented as custom resource definitions that can be executed by the [Litmus Chaos Operator](https://github.com/litmuschaos/chaos-operator). We would love to see your charts added to the list of community-charts. -To get started, read on! - -## How to Contribute a Chaos Chart - -The creation of a chaos chart or subchart involves the following steps: - -- Creation of Litmusbooks -- Creation of Experiment CRs -- Creation of ChartServiceVersion Templates - -These are briefly described below. - - -### Litmusbooks - -Litmusbooks are the execution units of the chaos experiments. They are Kubernetes Jobs running the test containers (mostly running ansible playbooks, -but could be any other scripting/programming language as long as the input and output interfaces are satisfied!). The experiments typically -involve definition of the entry/exit(health) criteria, creation of library utils (reusable code tasks/code-blocks) and the experiment business logic. - -A detailed guide for creation on ansible-based litmusbooks is provided in the [Litmusbook Cookbook](https://docs.litmuschaos.io/docs/next/cb-overview.html) - -The Litmusbooks are maintained in the [Litmus](https://github.com/litmuschaos/litmus) repo. View the PR checklist for the litmusbooks [here](https://github.com/litmuschaos/litmus/blob/master/.github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md) - -### Experiment Custom Resources - -The experiment CRs are a custom/condensed representation of a litmusbook where ENVs and experiment execution info is specified. The experiment CRs -help categorization (a chart can have subcharts), bundling & lighter/less cluttered interface for tuning by developers who can readily deploy a desired -chaos profile in their deployment environments. The chaos experiments are used by the Litmus Chaos Operator to orchestrate the chaos. - -Here is an example custom resource for a random [pod-delete](https://github.com/litmuschaos/community-charts/blob/master/charts/kubernetes/state/experiments/pod-delete-exp.v0.1.0.yaml) experiment - -### ChartServiceVersion (CSV) Templates - -The CSV specifies the metadata associated with the chart. A defined template (inspired by the CSV of Operator framework) is used to render this metadata -information on the hub.litmuschaos.io. Each chart/subchart is accompanied by its respective CSV. Here is an example detailing the [Kubernetes](https://github.com/litmuschaos/community-charts/blob/master/charts/kubernetes/kubernetes.chartserviceversion.yaml) chaos chart. - -The Package YAML is used to define the hierarchy/parent-child relationship of charts & subcharts. It is used to structure the pages on hub.litmuschaos.io. - - +To get started, refer the [developer guide](https://github.com/litmuschaos/litmus/tree/master/contribute/developer_guide)
