Litmus recommends you have a persistent volume (PV) of 20GB. You can start with 1GB for test purposes.

## Installation

Users looking to use Litmus for the first time have two options available to them today. One way is to use a hosted Litmus service like [Harness Chaos Engineering SaaS](https://app.harness.io/auth/#/signin). Alternatively, users looking for some more flexibility can install Litmus into their own Kubernetes cluster.
If you are a first time Litmus user, you can install Litmus in two ways:

Users choosing the self-hosted option can refer to our Install and Configure docs for installing alternate versions and more detailed instructions.

Chaos infrastructure is a service that runs in your target environment and aids Litmus in accessing and injecting chaos to your target environment. There should always be at least one or more than one chaos infrastructure connected to the ChaosCenter to execute an experiment.

In Litmus, you can classify chaos infrastructure into two types:

- **Self Chaos Infrastructures:** A Chaos Infrastructure that is connected to the same cluster and namespace where the ChaosCenter is deployed. It can be used to target the workloads executing on that cluster only.
- **Self chaos infrastructure:** A chaos infrastructure that is connected to the same cluster and namespace where the ChaosCenter is deployed. You can use this to target the workloads executing on that cluster only.

- **External Chaos Infrastructures:** A Chaos Infrastructure that is connected to a remote Kubernetes cluster. ChaosCenter can be operated in a cross-cloud manner, which allows connecting multiple External Chaos Infrastructure to the same ChaosCenter with the help of the [litmusctl](../litmusctl/installation.md) CLI. Once connected you can manage, monitor, observe and induce chaos from the ChaosCenter to the respective External Chaos Infrastructures.
