git clone git@github.com:adhorn/chaos-ssm-documents.git

cd chaos-ssm-documents

./upload-document.sh -r eu-west-2 (or other region of your choice)

aws ssm create-document --content file://cpu-stress.yml --name "cpu-stress" --document-type "Command" --document-format YAML

• To begin with, DO NOT use these chaos injection commands in production blindly!!
• Always review the SSM documents and the commands in them.
• Make sure your first chaos injections are done in a test environment and on test instances where no real and paying customer can be affected.
• Test, test, and test more. Remember that chaos engineering is about breaking things in a controlled environment and through well-planned experiments to build confidence in your application — and you own tools — to withstand turbulent conditions.
