Discovering Chaos Toolkit Istio Plugin

Installing the plugin

You probably remember that we had to install the chaostoolkit-kubernetes module to define Kubernetes-related chaos experiments. The same is true for Istio. We could, theoretically, define Istio-related actions, probes, and rollbacks as shell commands that would be applying YAML definitions and running istioctl. Nevertheless, that would be a waste of time since the chaostoolkit-istio module already provides some (if not all) Istio-related features. It will allow us to add some additional capabilities that we wouldn’t have otherwise or, to be more precise, that would be much harder without it. So, let’s install the module.
