In their own words

ChaosBlade

ChaosBlade is a free, open-source chaos engineering project comprising the ChaosBlade experiment tool and the ChaosBlade-Box platform. Its stated aim is to help enterprises address availability problems during cloud-native adoption. Experiments cover CPU, memory, network, disk, processes, kernels, and files, as well as multilingual applications and Kubernetes resources. They can run through the command-line interface, Kubernetes YAML and CRDs, HTTP server calls, or the Box interface. ChaosBlade-Box provides a shared experiment interface, automates deployment of experiment tools, and can host ChaosBlade and LitmusChaos. It uses Helm for deployment management and integrates Prometheus monitoring. Safety policies support manual stopping or automatic stopping after a configured timeout. Users can download and unpack the CLI on a host, or install the tool and platform on Kubernetes with Helm. The host installation guide lists Java and MySQL requirements; automatic probe installation also needs Ansible and expect. The project supports Kubernetes and is identified as a Cloud Native Computing Foundation sandbox project.
