Kubernetes + Chaos Engineering + Minecraft = KubeChaosCraft!
Gamified Chaos Engineering tool for Kubernetes.
Inspired by KubeInvaders.

KubeChaosCraft is Minecraft Mod.
See Demo
Using the event that the player defeated the Mob, it sends a request to the Kubernetes API Server to remove the Pod.
Sorry! Please do your own.
Forge Version is v1.15.2!
Put the release/kubechaoscraftmod-x.x.jar file in the mod directory.
Start a Kubernetes cluster with v1.16.
I recommend Minikube.
minikube start --kubernetes-version=v1.16.0
| var | description | default value |
|---|---|---|
| threshold | The threshold to delete the Pod. If set to 0.5, there is a 50% chance that the Pod will be removed every time a Mob is killed by a player. | 0.0 |
| targetNamespaces | List of the target namespace. | [] |
This Mod uses Config.defaultClient() to obtain the cluster information. So make sure you have a Kubernetes configuration on the environment where you are running Minecraft.
Adopting chaos engineering strategies for your production environment is really useful, because it is the only way to test if a system supports unexpected destructive events.
KubeInvaders KubeChaosCraft is a game — so please do not take it too seriously! — but it demonstrates some important use cases:
- Test how resilient Kubernetes clusters are on unexpected pod deletion
- Collect metrics like pod restart time
- Tune readiness probes
