Automating Chaos Engineering with Terraform | Blog

The text explores the integration of chaos engineering practices into infrastructure management using Terraform, focusing on automating various aspects to streamline resilience testing across environments. By employing the Harness Terraform provider, users can automate Kubernetes infrastructure setup, manage Git-based ChaosHub repositories, and enforce security governance policies, ensuring safe and consistent execution of chaos experiments. The document emphasizes the benefits of automation, such as reducing manual errors and setup time, by leveraging Infrastructure as Code (IaC) principles. It guides users through setting up configurations for organization and project management, Kubernetes connectors, service discovery, and custom image registries, while also addressing the implementation of security governance to control experiment execution. The guide encourages starting with non-production environments and scaling gradually, highlighting best practices for managing Terraform configurations, such as using separate state files, versioning chaos experiments, and integrating with CI/CD pipelines for automated deployment.
