What it does

Built with

The project says it is built in Rust using kube-rs.checked 9 Oct 2001

Deployment

The README describes deploying it as a Kubernetes Deployment using the dagandersen/khaos-monkey:latest container image, or running it locally with Cargo and kubeconfig.checked 9 Oct 2001

Exclusions

Pods labeled khaos-enabled: false opt out, and namespaces can be blacklisted.checked 9 Oct 2001

Grouping

Pods are grouped by ReplicaSet by default, and khaos-group labels can define custom groups.checked 9 Oct 2001

Implementation

The project is built in Rust using kube-rs.checked 9 Oct 2001

Intended use

The maker describes it as a lightweight, simple option that can suit smaller experimental clusters where more advanced tooling may be cumbersome or resource-intensive.checked 9 Oct 2001

Kill modes

It supports percentage, fixed-count, and fixed-number-left pod termination modes.checked 9 Oct 2001

Local use

The README says it can be run locally with Cargo and a kubeconfig before deployment to Kubernetes.checked 9 Oct 2001

Modes

It supports percentage of pods killed, a fixed number killed, or killing pods until a fixed number remain.checked 9 Oct 2001

Namespace exclusions

The CLI supports blacklisted namespaces; its documented defaults are `kube-system`, `kube-public`, and `kube-node-lease`.checked 9 Oct 2001

Permissions

The installation example grants a Kubernetes ClusterRole list and delete permissions for pods and namespaces.checked 9 Oct 2001

Project positioning

The README presents it as a simple, lightweight option for smaller experimental Kubernetes clusters and says more advanced tooling may suit mature infrastructure better.checked 9 Oct 2001

Purpose

khaos-monkey randomly terminates Kubernetes pods according to configured rules and modes.checked 9 Oct 2001

Randomization

Options can randomize the number of pods killed and add a random interval between attacks.checked 9 Oct 2001

Scheduling

Attack intervals and the number of pods killed can be randomized.checked 9 Oct 2001

Support

The opened project page provides its README and issue tracker; it does not state a support plan or response commitment.checked 9 Oct 2001

Targeting

It can target pods in selected namespaces or individual pods labeled khaos-enabled: true.checked 9 Oct 2001
