Setting up Chaos Toolkit in Kubernetes
In this lesson, we set up Chaos Toolkit in Kubernetes by defining configurations using ConfigMap and creating a ServiceAccount.
Defining configuration in Kubernetes using the ConfigMap
Before we start running chaos experiments inside the Kubernetes cluster, we’ll need to set up at least two things:
- We’ll need experiment definitions stored somewhere in the cluster. The most common and the most logical way to define a configuration in Kubernetes is to use ConfigMap.
- Apart from having experiment definitions readily available, we will also need to create a ServiceAccount that will provide the necessary privileges to processes that will run the experiments.
