kube-monkey is a Kubernetes implementation of Netflix's Chaos Monkey that randomly deletes pods in a cluster to encourage and validate failure-resilient services. It runs on a configurable schedule on weekdays, building a daily termination schedule for opt-in deployments identified by Kubernetes labels.

Use cases

  • randomly kill pods in kubernetes to test service resilience
  • run chaos engineering experiments on a k8s cluster
  • validate that deployments survive pod terminations
  • schedule daily chaos terminations for opt-in apps
  • test high availability of microservices on kubernetes

When to choose

  • you run services on Kubernetes and want Netflix Chaos Monkey-style fault injection
  • you want opt-in, label-based chaos scheduling with blacklists and time windows

When to avoid

  • your workloads are not on Kubernetes
  • you need chaos testing outside a cluster or for non-containerized systems
