This scenario disrupts the pods matching the label in the specified namespace on a Kubernetes/OpenShift cluster.
If enabling Cerberus to monitor the cluster and pass/fail the scenario post chaos, refer docs. Make sure to start it before injecting the chaos and set CERBERUS_ENABLED environment variable for the chaos injection container to autoconnect.
$ podman run --name=<container_name> --net=host --env-host=true -v <path-to-kube-config>:/home/krkn/.kube/config:Z -d quay.io/krkn-chaos/krkn-hub:pod-scenarios
$ podman logs -f <container_name or container_id> # Streams Kraken logs
$ podman inspect <container-name or container-id> --format "{{.State.ExitCode}}" # Outputs exit code which can considered as pass/fail for the scenario
$ docker run $(./get_docker_params.sh) --name=<container_name> --net=host -v <path-to-kube-config>:/home/krkn/.kube/config:Z -d quay.io/krkn-chaos/krkn-hub:pod-scenarios
OR
$ docker run -e <VARIABLE>=<value> --name=<container_name> --net=host -v <path-to-kube-config>:/home/krkn/.kube/config:Z -d quay.io/krkn-chaos/krkn-hub:pod-scenarios
$ docker logs -f <container_name or container_id> # Streams Kraken logs
$ docker inspect <container-name or container-id> --format "{{.State.ExitCode}}" # Outputs exit code which can considered as pass/fail for the scenario
TIP: Because the container runs with a non-root user, ensure the kube config is globally readable before mounting it in the container. You can achieve this with the following commands:
kubectl config view --flatten > ~/kubeconfig && chmod 444 ~/kubeconfig && docker run $(./get_docker_params.sh) --name=<container_name> --net=host -v ~kubeconfig:/home/krkn/.kube/config:Z -d quay.io/krkn-chaos/krkn-hub:<scenario>
The following environment variables can be set on the host running the container to tweak the scenario/faults being injected:
ex.)
export <parameter_name>=<value>
See list of variables that apply to all scenarios here that can be used/set in addition to these scenario specific variables
| Parameter | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
| NAMESPACE | Targeted namespace in the cluster ( supports regex ) | openshift-.* |
| POD_LABEL | Label of the pod(s) to target | "" |
| NAME_PATTERN | Regex pattern to match the pods in NAMESPACE when POD_LABEL is not specified | .* |
| DISRUPTION_COUNT | Number of pods to disrupt | 1 |
| KILL_TIMEOUT | Timeout to wait for the target pod(s) to be removed in seconds | 180 |
| EXPECTED_RECOVERY_TIME | Fails if the pod disrupted do not recover within the timeout set | 120 |
NOTE Set NAMESPACE environment variable to openshift-.* to pick and disrupt pods randomly in openshift system namespaces, the DAEMON_MODE can also be enabled to disrupt the pods every x seconds in the background to check the reliability.
NOTE In case of using custom metrics profile or alerts profile when CAPTURE_METRICS or ENABLE_ALERTS is enabled, mount the metrics profile from the host on which the container is run using podman/docker under /home/krkn/kraken/config/metrics-aggregated.yaml and /home/krkn/kraken/config/alerts. For example:
$ podman run --name=<container_name> --net=host --env-host=true -v <path-to-custom-metrics-profile>:/home/krkn/kraken/config/metrics-aggregated.yaml -v <path-to-custom-alerts-profile>:/home/krkn/kraken/config/alerts -v <path-to-kube-config>:/home/krkn/.kube/config:Z -d quay.io/krkn-chaos/krkn-hub:container-scenarios
