Pumba is a chaos testing and network emulation CLI tool for Docker, containerd, and Podman containers. It can kill, stop, pause, or remove containers, inject network delays and packet loss, and stress-test container resources.

Use cases

  • inject network latency into docker containers
  • chaos test kubernetes pods by killing containers
  • simulate packet loss between services
  • stress test container cpu and memory
  • verify service resilience to random container failures
  • emulate slow networks for containerized apps

When to choose

  • you practice chaos engineering on containerized workloads
  • you need network fault injection for Docker, containerd, or Podman
  • you want a Netflix Chaos Monkey-style tool at the container level

When to avoid

  • you need chaos testing for non-containerized hosts or VMs
  • you want a managed chaos platform with dashboards and experiments UI
  • your environment disallows privileged helper containers or root access
