ARM template samples for experiments in Azure Chaos Studio
This article includes sample Azure Resource Manager templates (ARM templates) to create a chaos experiment in Azure Chaos Studio. Each sample includes a template file and a parameters file with sample values to provide to the template.
In this sample, we create a chaos experiment with a single target resource and a single CPU pressure fault. You can modify the experiment by referencing our REST API and fault library.
Once you've reviewed the template and parameter files, learn how to deploy them into your Azure subscription with the Deploy resources with ARM templates and Azure portal article.
