Install and build the scripts

You have two options. Choose one of the options below

• Building and using for production using Python Wheel
• Building and using for dev or test (does not require Python Wheel)

Building and using for production

1. Build a wheel.

   pip install wheel
   python setup.py bdist_wheel

2. The wheel file chaos_aws-1.0.0-py3-none-any.whl is in the the dist folder:

   cd dist

3. Install the wheel with pip.

   pip install chaos_aws-1.0.0-py3-none-any.whl

4. Run the script with its console script:

   script-fail-az --region eu-west-3 --vpc-id vpc-2719dc4e --az-name eu-west-3a --duration 60 --limit-asg --failover-rds --failover-elasticache
   script-stop-instance --region eu-west-3 --az-name eu-west-3a --tag "chaos:ready"
   script-fail-rds --region eu-west-3 --rds-id database-1
   script-fail-rds --region eu-west-3 --vpc-id vpc-2719dc4e --az-name eu-west-3c
   script-fail-elasticache --region eu-west-3 --vpc-id vpc-2719dc4e --az-name eu-west-3c
   script-fail-elasticache --region eu-west-3 --elasticache-cluster-name chaoscluster

Building and using for dev or test

1. Install requirements

   pip install -r requirements.txt

2. Run the script with its console script:

   python scripts/fail_az.py --region eu-west-3 --vpc-id vpc-2719dc4e --az-name eu-west-3c --duration 60 --limit-asg --failover-rds --failover-elasticache
   python scripts/stop_random_instance.py --region eu-west-3 --az-name eu-west-3a --tag "chaos:ready"
   python scripts/fail_rds.py --region eu-west-3 --rds-id database-1
   python scripts/fail_rds.py --region eu-west-3 --vpc-id vpc-2719dc4e --az-name eu-west-3c
   python scripts/fail_elasticache.py --region eu-west-3 --vpc-id vpc-2719dc4e --az-name eu-west-3c
   python scripts/fail_elasticache.py --region eu-west-3 --elasticache-cluster-name chaoscluster
