KubeInvaders is a gamified chaos engineering tool for Kubernetes. It is like Space Invaders but the aliens are PODs
KubeInvaders has been developed using Defold (https://www.defold.com/).
Through KubeInvaders you can stress your Openshift cluster in a fun way and check how it is resilient.
# Please set target_namespace to set your target namespace!
helm install --set-string target_namespace="namespace1\,namespace2" --name kubeinvaders --namespace kubeinvaders ./helm-charts/kubeinvaders
| Input | Action |
|---|---|
| n | Change namespace (you should define namespaces list. Ex: TARGET_NAMESPACE=foo1,foo2,foo3). |
| a | Switch to automatic mode. |
| m | Switch to manual mode. |
| h | Show special keys. |
| q | Hide help for special keys. |
| i | Show pod's name. Move the ship towards an alien. |
Set the following variables in Kubernetes Deployment or Openshift DeploymentConfig
| ENV Var | Description |
|---|---|
| ALIENPROXIMITY (default 15) | Reduce the value to increase distance between aliens |
| HITSLIMIT (default 0) | Seconds of CPU time to wait before shooting |
| UPDATETIME (default 1) | Seconds to wait before update PODs status (you can set also 0.x Es: 0.5) |
# Please set target_namespace to set your target namespace!
helm install --set-string target_namespace="namespace1\,namespace2" --name kubeinvaders --namespace kubeinvaders ./helm-charts/kubeinvaders
To Install KubeInvaders on your Openshift Cluster clone this repo and launch the following commands then provide the target namespace and cluster route path :
chmod +x install.sh
./install.shYou can change the namespace within the KubeInvaders pod enviroment variables on OpenShift once setup. e.g jmeter,KubeInvaders
