## Historique du projet et usages

litmusctl is the command-line companion to LitmusChaos, a CNCF-hosted cloud-native chaos engineering platform. It matters less as a standalone tool than as the terminal interface for connecting Chaos Delegates, creating projects, scheduling Chaos Scenarios, and managing LitmusChaos accounts.

### Historique du projet

LitmusChaos began as Kubernetes-oriented chaos engineering tooling before becoming a CNCF project. The separate litmusctl repository was created on February 15, 2021, after Litmus had already entered CNCF Sandbox, giving operators a Go-based CLI for the agent-plane workflows around Litmus ChaosCenter and Kubernetes clusters.

The litmusctl README documents versioned usage guides spanning early v0.2-era compatibility through later v0.12-v0.23 and 1.x releases, which reflects its role as a compatibility-sensitive operations tool tied to LitmusChaos control-plane versions.

### Historique d'adoption

Litmus itself was accepted into CNCF on June 25, 2020 and moved to Incubating on January 11, 2022. That CNCF path gave the surrounding tools, including litmusctl, a place in cloud-native SRE workflows rather than only in vendor-specific chaos demos.

The broader Litmus project advertises adopters and end-user case studies, while litmusctl adoption is mostly implicit: users who run LitmusChaos in Kubernetes clusters need a supported CLI path for delegate connection and account operations.

### Modes d'utilisation

litmusctl is used to connect Chaos Delegates, create projects, schedule Chaos Scenarios, disconnect delegates, and manage multiple LitmusChaos accounts. Its documented requirements include a kubeconfig at ~/.kube/config and kubectl underneath for applying manifests.

For package users, the key operational detail is version compatibility: the README maps litmusctl releases such as 1.19.0 through 1.26.0 to supported Chaos Center version ranges.

### Pourquoi les passionnés de paquets s'y intéressent

For Homebrew and Nix users, litmusctl is a small example of a cloud-native project's operational surface being shipped as a standalone CLI, separate from the heavier Kubernetes control plane it manages.

It also shows the package-manager problem of distributing fast-moving Kubernetes ecosystem CLIs whose usefulness depends on a compatibility matrix rather than only on their own version number.

### Chronologie

- 2017: LitmusChaos work began as simple Kubernetes chaos jobs, according to CNCF project history.
- 2020-06-25: Litmus was accepted into CNCF.
- 2021-02-15: The litmuschaos/litmusctl GitHub repository was created.
- 2022-01-11: Litmus moved to CNCF Incubating.
- 2026-05-20: The litmusctl repository listed release 1.26.0.

### Related projects

- LitmusChaos is the parent chaos engineering platform; ChaosHub provides reusable chaos experiments; kubectl and Kubernetes are required context for delegate installation and cluster operations.
