policies describing complete chaos experimentsPrometheus

metrics collectionJust to give you a taste, here's an example policy. It will kill a single pod, and then check that the service continues responding to HTTP probes, to verify its resiliency to one of its pods going down.
scenarios:
- name: Kill one pod in my namespace, make sure the service responds
steps:
# kill a pod from `myapp` namespace
- podAction:
matches:
- namespace: myapp
filters:
- randomSample:
size: 1
actions:
- kill:
probability: 0.75
# check my service continues working
- probeHTTP:
target:
service:
name: my-service
namespace: myapp
endpoint: /healthz
Assuming that's in policy.yml
, you can run it like this:
powerfulseal autonomous --policy-file ./policy.yaml
docker pull powerfulseal/powerfulseal:3.1.1
pip install powerfulseal
