Keep Deployment's Pods Down
Check what happens when all pods of a Kubernetes deployment aren't coming up again.
Motivation
Typically, Kubernetes tries to keep as many pods running as desired for a Kubernetes deployment. However, some circumstances may prevent Kubernetes from achieving this, like missing resources in the cluster, problems with the deployment's probes, or a CrashLoopBackOff. You should validate what happens to your overall provided service when a given deployment is directly affected by this or one of the upstream services used by your deployment.
Structure
To keep the pods down for a given deployment, we first kill all the pods in the deployment. Simultaneously, we will scale down the Kubernetes deployment to 0 to simulate that these pods can't be scheduled again. At the of the experiment, we automatically roll back the deployment's scale to the initial value.
