Chaos Monkey randomly terminates virtual machine instances and containers that

run inside of your production environment. Exposing engineers to

failures more frequently incentivizes them to build resilient services.



See the [documentation][docs] for info on how to use Chaos Monkey.



Chaos Monkey is an example of a tool that follows the

[Principles of Chaos Engineering][PoC].

### Requirements



This version of Chaos Monkey is fully integrated with [Spinnaker], the

continuous delivery platform that we use at Netflix. You must be managing your

apps with Spinnaker to use Chaos Monkey to terminate instances.



Chaos Monkey should work with any backend that Spinnaker supports (AWS, Google

Compute Engine, Azure, Kubernetes, Cloud Foundry). It has been tested with

AWS, [GCE][gce-blogpost], and Kubernetes.



### Install locally



To install the Chaos Monkey binary on your local machine:



```

go get github.com/netflix/chaosmonkey/cmd/chaosmonkey
