Introduction

This attack allows you to delete one or multiple pods. Pods are deleted once using kubectl delete pod.

By benefitting from Steadybit's discovery, you can easily delete multiple pods, e.g., from different deployments in a namespace or a certain availability zone (only available for managed Kubernetes and requires the AWS-extension, Azure-extension, or GCP-extension).

Use Cases

• Check if your application is still available if certain pods are restarting
• Check how long it takes until new pods are respawned and ready (in combination with a pod count check)
• Verify that your leader election works for a set of pods

Parameters

No parameters.

Rollback

No rollback possible.
