10 Chaos in Kubernetes

This chapter covers

  • Quick introduction to Kubernetes
  • Designing chaos experiments for software running on Kubernetes
  • Killing subsets of applications running on Kubernetes to test their resilience
  • Injecting network slowness using a proxy

It’s time to cover Kubernetes (https://kubernetes.io/). Anyone working in software engineering would have a hard time not hearing it mentioned, at the very least. I have never seen an open source project become so popular so quickly. I remember going to one of the first editions of KubeCon in London in 2016 to try to evaluate whether investing any time into this entire Kubernetes thing was worth it. Fast-forward to 2020, and Kubernetes expertise is now one of the most demanded skills!
