About:
chaoskube is a command-line tool that introduces controlled chaos into Kubernetes clusters by periodically killing random pods. It enables developers and SREs to test system resilience and failure recovery mechanisms under realistic conditions. The tool is highly configurable, allowing users to define schedules, target specific namespaces, and set affinity rules to limit its scope.
Key Features:
  • Configurable chaos intervals and schedules
  • Filter pods by labels, annotations, and namespaces
  • Support for dry-run mode to observe actions without impact
  • Detailed logging for auditing and debugging
Use Cases:
  • Validating application self-healing capabilities in staging environments
  • Testing the robustness of Kubernetes controllers and operators
  • Ensuring cluster-wide fault tolerance during planned maintenance
Alternatives:
  • kube-monkey – Similar purpose, but kube-monkey uses a configurable time window for chaos, whereas chaoskube relies on a periodic interval.
  • LitmusChaos – Litmus is a comprehensive, full-featured chaos engineering platform with a UI and extensive experiments, while chaoskube is a simpler, single-purpose tool.
