Google Cloud Platform Extension for the Chaos Toolkit

Community • ChangeLog

---

Welcome to the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) extension for Chaos Toolkit. The package aggregates activities to target your GCP projects and explore your resilience via Chaos Engineering experiments.

Install

This package requires Python 3.8+

To be used from your experiment, this package must be installed in the Python environment where Chaos Toolkit already lives.

$ pip install -U chaostoolkit-google-cloud-platform

Usage

To use the probes and actions from this package, add the following to your experiment file:

{
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "title": "Our users should not be impacted by increased latency from our services",
  "description": "Use traffic shaping from the load Balancer to explore the impact of latency on our users",
  "method": [
    {
      "name": "add-delay-to-traffic",
      "type": "action",
      "provider": {
        "type": "python",
        "module": "chaosgcp.lb.actions",
        "func": "inject_traffic_delay",
        "arguments": {
          "url_map": "my-service",
          "target_name": "all-paths",
          "target_path": "/*",
          "delay_in_seconds": 1,
          "impacted_percentage": 80
        }
      },
      "pauses": {
        "after": 180
      }
    }
  ],
  "rollbacks": [
    {
      "name": "remove-traffic-delay",
      "type": "action",
      "provider": {
        "type": "python",
        "module": "chaosgcp.lb.actions",
        "func": "remove_fault_injection_traffic_policy",
        "arguments": {
          "url_map": "my-service",
          "target_name": "all-paths",
          "target_path": "/*"
        }
      }
    }
  ]
}

That's it! You can now run it as chaos run experiment.json

Please explore the code to see existing probes and actions.

The extension picks up the credentials found on the machine running the experiment as describe in the official Python GCP client.

Contribute

If you wish to contribute more functions to this package, you are more than welcome to do so. Please, fork this project, make your changes following the usual PEP 8 code style, sprinkling with tests and submit a PR for review.

The Chaos Toolkit projects require all contributors must sign a Developer Certificate of Origin on each commit they would like to merge into the master branch of the repository. Please, make sure you can abide by the rules of the DCO before submitting a PR.

Develop

If you wish to develop on this project, make sure to install the development dependencies. You will need to install PDM.

$ pdm install --dev

Whenever you need to make contribution, ensure to run the linter as follows:

$ pdm run format
$ pdm run lint

Now, you can edit the files and they will be automatically be seen by your environment, even when running from the chaos command locally.

Test

To run the tests for the project execute the following:

$ pdm run test
