Chaos Toolkit Extension for Microsoft Azure

Chaos Toolkit Extension for Azure

This project is a collection of actions and probes, gathered as an extension to the Chaos Toolkit. It targets the Microsoft Azure platform.

Install

This package requires Python 3.5+

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

$ pip install -U chaostoolkit-azure

Usage

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.

Configuration

Credentials

This extension uses the Azure SDK libraries under the hood. The Azure SDK library expects that you have a tenant and client identifier, as well as a client secret and subscription, that allows you to authenticate with the Azure resource management API.

There are two ways of doing this:

• you can either pass the name of the environment variables to the experiment definition as follows (recommended):

  {
      "azure": {
          "client_id": "AZURE_CLIENT_ID",
          "client_secret": "AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET",
          "tenant_id": "AZURE_TENANT_ID"
      }
  }
  

• or you inject the secrets explicitly to the experiment definition:

  {
      "azure": {
          "client_id": "your-super-secret-client-id",
          "client_secret": "your-even-more-super-secret-client-secret",
          "tenant_id": "your-tenant-id"
      }
  }
  

  Additionally you need to provide the Azure subscription id.

  {
      "azure": {
          "subscription_id": "your-azure-subscription-id"
      }
  }
