Platform:
Litmus Backend Charm (part of Charmed Litmus)
litmus-backend-k8s is a charm that, in conjunction with the litmus-chaoscenter-k8s charm, the litmus-auth-k8s charm, and mongodb-k8s charm deploys and operates the control plane of LitmusChaos, an open source platform used for chaos testing.
This charm, together with a litmus-chaoscenter application, a litmus-auth application, and a mongodb instance handles deployment, scaling, configuration, and Day 2 operations specific to the control plane of LitmusChaos.
A litmus-backend-k8s application is responsible for serving the requests received from litmus-chaoscenter-k8s, by querying the database (mongodb-k8s) for the relevant information.
Important! This charm is meant to work in conjunction with its counterparts. This documentation only contains charm-specific, and as such relatively low-level documentation. For the solution-level documentation, look at the solution-level Charmed Litmus docs.
This charm is:
- intended to be used together with the
litmus-auth-k8scharm. - intended to be used together with the
litmus-backend-k8scharm. - intended to be used together with the
mongodb-k8scharm.
