Chaos Testing with Litmus and Okteto Cloud

Set Chaos Testing Enviroment on Okteto

This will automatically deploy the following resources on your Okteto Cloud account:

• The Litmus Chaos operator, from the Okteto catalog
• The pod-delete chaos experiment

Option 2: Deploy manually

You can always manually install every component by hand:

Log in to Okteto Cloud, and click on the Deploy button on the top left. A deploy dialog will open. Switch the deploy method to Deploy from Helm Chart and select "litmuschaos" Chart:

Then you customize the configuration values. Once you're ready, click on the Deploy button on the bottom of the dialog to deploy your Helm release.

When you click on Deploy, Okteto Cloud will launch an installation job for you directly in the cluster. The installation job is in charge of executing the required helm commands to deploy your Helm Chart.

As soon as your Helm release is deployed, you'll see its state in the UI.
