As far as I know, Chaos Studio does not currently support Container Apps (they are not listed among possible Targets).
I am running services in Container Apps and I want to be able to stop, restart them and similar things for Chaos Engineering experiments.
I have been suggested to use workarounds like revision control but I do not like them because the possibilities are quite limited. For instance, restarting a revision does not give any control over how long the service will be down.
The basic capability I am looking for is a controlled stop/restart of a service. Deleting the whole resource does not seem a very good idea to me.
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Hello @Giuseppe Lacagnina - Thanks for posting on MS Q&A!
I believe this is best to be posted on the Ideas for the Container Apps team to review & formally weigh in on the use-case. This will also enable other customers seeking similar capability to Upvote & provide their feedbacks as well.
Since ACA is highly managed, provides event-driven scaling via KEDA etc, I don’t think there’s any turn-key option as of this writing. Have you considered other container offerings that do provide control over the stop, restart operations?
FIrst of all, thanks! Well, my company decided for Container Apps. What you tell me is a bit disheartening, but I will try to post my idea.

You could use the activate/deactivate the revision capability:
You will be able to control the stop/start of all instances of a revision. Please look into the below article

My developer colleagues mentioned that revision deactivation would not work because it needs to have an active revision at all times.
Stop/start can be interesting as long as it is not directly restart, over which I would have no timing control.
I will have a look anyway, thanks!
