Public Preview: Manage Azure Chaos Studio from the Azure CLI

Azure Chaos StudioIn previewAzure update

You can now create and run Azure Chaos Studio resilience Scenarios directly from the Azure CLI with the new az chaos extension — no more hand-assembling REST calls and JSON files. Get started in one step: az chaos setup stands up a workspace, wires up permissions, discovers your resources, and recommends Scenarios (like Zone Down) tailored to what you're running. From there, configure, validate, and run a Scenario in a few clear commands — with built-in --help, tab completion, and table/JSON/TSV output. Install with az extension add --name chaos.
