Using code from this fork: https://github.com/ssbanerje/SimianArmy
I was able to modify NetFlix's SimianArmy Chaos Monkey to work on an OpenStack Cloud.
Ssbanerje tried to get his code merged with the upstream branch but it wasn't acknowledged.
##I made these changes to his code:
*Updated jclouds for Gradle
*Disabled the other monkeys. Just disabling them in properties wasn't enough, I had to disable them in the java code here: src/main/java/com/netflix/simianarmy/basic/BasicMonkeyServer.java
*Took out Cinder 1.0 references because it has been deprecated by jclouds
*Added the ssh lines commented out here src/main/resources/chaos.properties
*Enabled the lines that work for Openstack in all properties files and disabled the ones that don't
*Monkey's are left leashed but I turned up the frequency that they run and enabled MonkeyTime at all hours of the day. This is because it is difficult to know if the monkey has made the connections to your cloud.
*Disabled the SimpleDB and set it to use localstorage for DB data. This is obviously because you wouldn't have AWS to store db data in
