Thanks for putting this out! I caught a Gremlin talk at a recent conference and was very impressed with how knowledgeable the developers were.

How does the Gremlin platform interact with one of my hosts? Do I need to install an agent or something? Does it need root access to my host, hypervisor, cloud console?

Simply install an agent, authenticate with our control plane, and create attacks through our webapp. No root access required.

If root is not required, how does the agent issue a shutdown or restart?
