**Monkey Business for Serious Systems: Why Chaos Engineering Isn’t Crazy, Featuring LitmusChaos**

LitmusChaos, an open-source chaos engineering platform, helps you simulate unpredictable failures in your infrastructure. This "monkey business" is far from reckless; it's a calculated, controlled way to uncover vulnerabilities before they cause real-world outages. By embracing chaos, you're not being crazy—you're preparing your systems to handle the unexpected with grace.

In this talk, we'll explore how the LitmusChaos tool can be used to conduct some exciting and challenging experiments on our Kubernetes cluster—such as fogging the pod network and killing pods—to observe the impact on the production environment and determine how quickly we can recover.
