Red Hat Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 It is indispensable to ensure that a system/service built is able to withstand chaotic conditions as failures are inevitable. Chaos engineering helps in boosting confidence in a system's resilience by “breaking things on purpose.” While it may seem counterintuitive, it is crucial to deliberately inject failures into a complex system like OpenShift/Kubernetes and check whether the system recovers gracefully without any downtime and doesn’t suffer in terms of performance and scalability. Chaos engineering is a discipline to identify potential problems and enhance the system’s resilience. Kraken to the Rescue We developed a chaos tool named Kraken with the aim of “breaking things on purpose” and identifying future issues. Kraken enables the user to effortlessly inject chaos in a Kubernetes/OpenShift cluster. The user can continuously cause chaos and watch how the cluster responds to various failure injections over a long run. Additionally, one can validate if the cluster completely recovers from chaos and returns to its normal healthy state after a single set of failure injections.
