Sutekh, the god of chaos, is a testing utility designed to randomly kill Docker containers or Kubernetes pods in a clustered set so that its resilience can be tested.
It's nothing special, really. You could do that with a Bash script too.
The current version kills a container every X seconds, where X is exponentially distributed with a mean value of 10.
You can build a local sutekh image with:
docker build -t sutekh .Then you can run it and randomly kill all containers with "blah" in the name like this:
docker run -d -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock sutekh sutekh blah(the first sutekh is the image name, the second one the command to execute)
Because you need your kubectl to be configured with your own Kubernetes
cluster and secrets, you need to customize your own Docker image to support
that.
First build the Sutekh image as above:
docker build -t sutekh .Then create your own image using FROM sutekh:latest and make sure your
kubectl is set up with all the information it needs.
Then you can run your image with the command sutekh --kube blah to kill all
pods with "blah" in their name.
