This project is a collection of actions and probes, gathered as an extension to the Chaos Toolkit. It targets the Microsoft Azure platform.
This package requires Python 3.8+
To be used from your experiment, this package must be installed in the Python environment where chaostoolkit already lives.
$ pip install -U chaostoolkit-azure
To use the probes and actions from this package, add the following to your experiment file:
{
"type": "action",
"name": "start-service-factory-chaos",
"provider": {
"type": "python",
"module": "chaosazure.vm.actions",
"func": "stop_machines",
"secrets": ["azure"],
"arguments": {
"parameters": {
"TimeToRunInSeconds": 45
}
}
}
}
That's it!
Please explore the code to see existing probes and actions.
This extension uses the Azure SDK under the hood.
The extensions uses a chained approach to locating the appropriate credentials, starting from the secrets in the experiment before moving to environment variables and so on as per the Azure documentation.
In theory, at the bare minimum you don't need to set anything explicitely into the experiment and let the client figure it out based on the local machine settings.
You may also pass them via the secrets block of the experiment:
{
"secrets": {
"azure": {
"client_id": "your-super-secret-client-id",
"client_secret": "your-even-more-super-secret-client-secret",
"tenant_id": "your-tenant-id"
}
}
}
You can retrieve secretes as well from environment or HashiCorp vault.
If you are not working with Public Global Azure, e.g. China Cloud You can set the cloud environment.
{
"client_id": "your-super-secret-client-id",
"client_secret": "your-even-more-super-secret-client-secret",
"tenant_id": "your-tenant-id",
"cloud": "AZURE_CHINA_CLOUD"
}
Available cloud names:
AZURE_US_GOV_CLOUD
Either of these values can be passed via AZURE_CLOUD
as well.
Additionally you need to provide the Azure subscription id.
As an environment variable
Subscription id in the experiment file
{
"configuration": {
"azure_subscription_id": "your-azure-subscription-id"
}
}
Configuration may be as well retrieved from an environment.
An old, but deprecated way of doing it was as follows, this still works but should not be favoured over the previous approaches as it's not the Chaos Toolkit way to pass structured configurations.
{
"configuration": {
"azure": {
"subscription_id": "your-azure-subscription-id"
}
}
}
Subscription id in the Azure credential file
Credential file described in the previous "Credential" section contains as well subscription id. If AZURE_AUTH_LOCATION is set and subscription id is NOT set in the experiment definition, extension will try to load it from the credential file.
Here is a full example for an experiment containing secrets and configuration:
{
"version": "1.0.0",
"title": "...",
"description": "...",
"tags": ["azure", "kubernetes", "aks", "node"],
"configuration": {
"azure_subscription_id": "xxx"
},
"secrets": {
"azure": {
"client_id": "xxx",
"client_secret": "xxx",
"tenant_id": "xxx"
}
},
"steady-state-hypothesis": {
"title": "Services are all available and healthy",
"probes": [
{
"type": "probe",
"name": "consumer-service-must-still-respond",
"tolerance": 200,
"provider": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://some-url/"
}
}
]
},
"method": [
{
"type": "action",
"name": "restart-node-at-random",
"provider": {
"type": "python",
"module": "chaosazure.machine.actions",
"func": "restart_machines",
"secrets": ["azure"],
"config": ["azure_subscription_id"]
}
}
],
"rollbacks": []
}
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.
If you wish to develop on this project, make sure to install the development dependencies.
$ pdm install --dev
Now, you can edit the files and they will be automatically be seen by your
environment, even when running from the chaos
command locally.
To run the tests for the project execute the following:
$ pdm run test
