+### Load Chaos
+
+Load chaos contains different chaos experiments to test the app/platform service availability. It will install all the experiments which can be used to inject load into the services like VMs, Pods and so on.

+## Introduction
+
+[k6](https://k6.io/) loadgen fault simulates load generation on the target hosts for a specific chaos duration. This fault:
+- Slows down or makes the target host unavailable due to heavy load.
+- Checks the performance of the application or process running on the instance.
+Support [various types](https://grafana.com/docs/k6/latest/testing-guides/test-types/) of load testing (ex. spike, smoke, stress)
+
+!!! tip "Scenario: Load generating with k6"    
+    ![k6-loadgen](../../images/k6-loadgen.png)
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+??? info "Verify the prerequisites" 
+    - Ensure that Kubernetes Version > 1.16 
+    - Ensure that the Litmus Chaos Operator is running by executing <code>kubectl get pods</code> in operator namespace (typically, <code>litmus</code>). If not, install from <a href="https://docs.litmuschaos.io/docs/getting-started/installation">here</a>
+    - Ensure to create a Kubernetes secret having the JS script file in the `Chaos Infrastructure`'s namespace (`litmus` by default). The simplest way to create a secret object looks like this:
+            ```bash
+            kubectl create secret generic k6-script \
+                --from-file=script.js=<<script-path>> -n <<chaos_infrastructure_namespace>>
+            ```
+
+## Minimal RBAC configuration example (optional)
+
+!!! tip "NOTE"   
+    If you are using this experiment as part of a litmus workflow scheduled constructed & executed from chaos-center, then you may be making use of the [litmus-admin](https://litmuschaos.github.io/litmus/litmus-admin-rbac.yaml) RBAC, which is pre installed in the cluster as part of the agent setup.
+
+    ??? note "View the Minimal RBAC permissions"
+
+        ```yaml
+        ---
+        apiVersion: v1
+        kind: ServiceAccount

+        roleRef:
+        apiGroup: rbac.authorization.k8s.io
+        kind: Role
+        name: k6-loadgen-sa
+        subjects:
+        - kind: ServiceAccount
+          name: k6-loadgen-sa
+          namespace: default
+
+        ```
+        Use this sample RBAC manifest to create a chaosServiceAccount in the desired (app) namespace. This example consists of the minimum necessary role permissions to execute the experiment.

+## Experiment Examples
+
+### Common and Pod specific tunables
+
+Refer the [common attributes](../common/common-tunables-for-all-experiments.md) and [Pod specific tunable](common-tunables-for-pod-experiments.md) to tune the common tunables for all experiments and pod specific tunables.  
+
+### Custom k6 configuration
+You can add k6 options(ex hosts, thresholds) in the script `options` object. More details can be found [here](https://grafana.com/docs/k6/latest/using-k6/k6-options/)
+
+### Custom Secret Name and Secret Key
+
+You can provide the secret name and secret key of the JS script to be used for k6-loadgen. The secret should be created in the same namespace where the `chaos infrastructure` is created. For example, if the chaos infrastructure is created in the `litmus` namespace, then the secret should also be created in the `litmus` namespace. 
+
+You can write a JS script like below. If you want to know more about the script, checkout [this documentation](https://grafana.com/docs/k6/latest/using-k6/).
+
+[embedmd]:# (./k6-loadgen/custom-script.js js)
+```js
+import http from 'k6/http';
+import { sleep } from 'k6';
+export const options = {
+    vus: 100,
+    duration: '30s',
+};
+export default function () {
+    http.get('http://<<target_domain_name>>/');
+    sleep(1);
+}
+```
+
+Then create a secret with the above script.
+
+```bash
+kubectl create secret generic custom-k6-script \
+  --from-file=script.js=custom-script.js -n <<chaos_infrastructure_namespace>>
+```
+
+And If we want to use `custom-k6-script` secret and `custom-script.js` as the secret key, then the experiment tunable will look like this:
