About:
litmusctl is a command-line interface tool designed for managing and operating LitmusChaos, an open-source chaos engineering framework. It enables users to install, upgrade, and manage chaos experiments and infrastructure directly from the terminal. This tool streamlines the chaos engineering workflow for DevOps and SRE teams, facilitating resilience testing within CI/CD pipelines.
Key Features:
  • Manage LitmusChaos installations and upgrades via CLI
  • Create, schedule, and monitor chaos experiments
  • Interact with the Litmus Portal GraphQL API
  • Native support for Kubernetes environments
Use Cases:
  • Automating chaos engineering workflows in CI/CD pipelines
  • Managing LitmusChaos infrastructure on Kubernetes clusters
  • Validating application resilience through command-line experimentation
Alternatives:
  • chaos-mesh – A Kubernetes-native chaos engineering platform with its own CLI and UI, often used for similar resilience testing scenarios.
  • kubectl – Generic Kubernetes CLI that can interact with Litmus CRDs, but lacks the specialized workflow and abstraction provided by litmusctl.
