Chaos Toolkit Kubernetes support

# Chaos Toolkit Kubernetes Support

[](https://travis-ci.org/chaostoolkit/chaostoolkit-kubernetes)
[](https://www.python.org/)

This project contains activities, such as probes and actions, you can call from
your experiment through the Chaos Toolkit.

## Install

To be used from your experiment, this package must be installed in the Python
environment where [chaostoolkit][] already lives.

[chaostoolkit]: https://github.com/chaostoolkit/chaostoolkit

```
$ pip install chaostoolkit-kubernetes
```

## Usage

To use the probes and actions from this package, add the following to your
experiment file:

```json
{
"name": "all-our-microservices-should-be-healthy",
"provider": {
"type": "python",
"module": "chaosk8s.probes",
"func": "microservice_available_and_healthy",
"arguments": {
"name": "myapp",
"ns": "myns"
}
}
},
{
"type": "action",
"name": "terminate-db-pod",
"provider": {
"type": "python",
"module": "chaosk8s.pod.actions",
"func": "terminate_pods",
"arguments": {
"label_selector": "app=my-app",
"name_pattern": "my-app-[0-9]$",
"rand": true,
"ns": "default"
}
},
"pauses": {
"after": 5
}
}
```

That's it! Notice how the action gives you the way to kill one pod randomly.

Please explore the code to see existing probes and actions.

### Discovery

You may use the Chaos Toolkit to discover the capabilities of this extension:

```
$ chaos discover chaostoolkit-kubernetes --no-install
```

## Configuration

This extension to the Chaos Toolkit can use the Kubernetes configuration
found at the usual place in your HOME directory under `~/.kube/`, or, when
run from a Pod in a Kubernetes cluster, it will use the local service account.
In that case, make sure to set the `CHAOSTOOLKIT_IN_POD` environment variable
to `"true"`.

You can also pass the credentials via secrets as follows:

```json
{
"secrets": {
"kubernetes": {
"KUBERNETES_HOST": "http://somehost",
"KUBERNETES_API_KEY": {
"type": "env",
"key": "SOME_ENV_VAR"
}
}
}
}
```

Then in your probe or action:

```json
{
"name": "all-our-microservices-should-be-healthy",
"provider": {
"type": "python",
"module": "chaosk8s.probes",
"func": "microservice_available_and_healthy",
"secrets": ["kubernetes"],
"arguments": {
"name": "myapp",
"ns": "myns"
}
}
}
```

You may specify the Kubernetes context you want to use as follows:

```json
{
"secrets": {
"kubernetes": {
"KUBERNETES_CONTEXT": "minikube"
}
}
}
```

Or via the environment:

```
$ export KUBERNETES_CONTEXT=minikube
```

In the same spirit, you can specify where to find your Kubernetes configuration
with:

```
$ export KUBECONFIG=some/path/config
```
