FAQ

Where can I learn more about Chaos Engineering ?

We found these two links to be a good start:

• https://principlesofchaos.org/
• https://github.com/dastergon/awesome-chaos-engineering

How is it different from Chaos Monkey ?

PowerfulSeal was inspired by Chaos Monkey, but it differs in a couple of important ways.

The Seal does:

• speak Kubernetes
• offer flexible, easy to write YAML scenarios
• provide interactive mode with awesome tab-completion

The Seal doesn’t:

• need external dependencies (db, Spinnaker), apart from SSH, cloud and Kubernetes API access
• need you to setup cron
• rely on randomness for all of your experiments

Can I contribute to The Seal ?

We would love you to. In particular, it would be great to get help with:

• get more cloud drivers
• get more awesome filters
• get an amazing logo
• make the PowerfulSeal more powerful

Check out our contributing page for more information about how to contribute.
