# Overview

BYOC (Bring Your Own Chaos) is a feature in HCE that allows users to create custom chaos experiments. This feature enables users to define their own chaos experiments and execute them using the HCE platform. The BYOC feature is designed to be flexible and easy to use, allowing users to define their own chaos experiments using a simple YAML specification.
