What is Kraken? Tool for Chaos Engineering
06-15, 13:50–14:05 (Europe/Prague), A113 | Lightning Talks (capacity 64)

Are your pipeline tests mature enough to feel confident enough to deploy on a large and dense Kubernetes deployment on Fridays? What happens when disaster strikes? It is easy to assume the environment will snap back quickly but no one wants to find out if it's true at 2am. Enter Kraken! An open source chaos testing framework for injecting deliberate failures and analysing both recovery and performance, to help harden Kubernetes and applications running on it.

In this session we will explore what chaos testing is, why it matters and how you can use Kraken to test your OpenShift\/Kubernetes system. Who would benefit from using Kraken and how it helps identifying vulnerabilities, optimizing cluster performance and overall improving system reliability. How it injects the chaos into the system and what types of scenarios Kraken has to offer.

You will be guided through the installation of Kraken and given tips on how you can start using it yourself today!
