I have a cluster back in my office for testing purposes. I have there a database and i would like to make all kind of "monekybusiness" to those test machines, long before i want to go to production.

I zipped 2-3 coffees all this morning trying to figure out HOW to make the "inFAMOUS" Simian Army to chew my nerves here on my local machines.

Everywhere i read, saw all kind of setups for AWS.

Question : Is there a possibility to deploy the Monkeys on my local cluster? Or is there any other alternative to Simian Army?

What is the question that you want to answer with your tests?

ChaosMonkey is a resilience tool that was design for the cloud, its main purpose is to verify that AWS' Auto Scaling Groups (ASG) will be able to re-provision faulty/offline nodes and that the application is capable to perform in a stable way when this process is being done. Do you have an automated process like this in your local cluster?

  • I want some kind of tool that can put this kind of failover test over my cluster. Let`s say i have a 30 machines cluster that i want to play with. Will my application still be up and serve clients during different outages!? – Mr'Black Oct 06 '16 at 10:56
