Abstract of the talk…

Chaos Engineering in the past few years has evolved with the development of the Cloud-Native paradigm and with the introduction of the LitmusChaos tool which helps curate Cloud-Native Chaos Engineering. Belonging to the CNCF ecosystem, Litmus stresses upon applying Chaos Engineering to modern architectures and building resilient applications simultaneously. The features and ideas majorly surround Community Collaboration, Observability, GitOps, Open APIs & much more. Chaos testing is seen as a must for all Cloud-Native practitioners emphasizing reliability as a container challenge. This talk stresses the evolution of Chaos Engineering with the introduction of the LitmusChaos 2.0
