## TESIGN TAKE

It supports bring-your-own-chaos to plug in third-party fault tooling.

## WHY IT MATTERS

Finding weak points only after an outage is too late. Litmus lets developers and SREs practice by inducing faults in a controlled way.

## BUILD FROM THIS

- A central chaos-center builds, schedules and visualises experiment workflows while agents in the target Kubernetes environment run and monitor them. Faults and steady-state hypotheses are defined as Kubernetes custom resources such as ChaosExperiment and ChaosEngine.

## WHO IT'S FOR

- SREs and developers who run services on Kubernetes.

## START IN 5 MINUTES

```
# Deploy it to Kubernetes following the install docs at litmuschaos.io.
```

## CAVEATS

- Requires a Kubernetes environment, and since it deliberately injects faults it should be tried in a test environment before production. The image is an architecture diagram, not a screenshot.

## How to read this

- This file was produced by the same build, from the same data, as the tesign.com item page. The text is editorial; the numbers are stored observations.
- null in the JSON means not observed — never zero. The Markdown writes [unconfirmed] for it.
- Star total = the value last checked on GitHub (stars_checked_at) + increases observed via GH Archive since. The 24h · 7d · 30d gains are GH Archive hourly events summed to the reference time (as_of). No score of ours.
- A summary, not legal advice.
