One-line Chaos Monkey 🐒

All apologies.

for (( ; ; )) do pod2kill=$(kubectl get pods — namespace=YOUR_NAMESPACE | tail -n +2 | awk ‘{print $1}’ | sort -R | tail -1); echo “Killing pod: ${pod2kill}…” && kubectl — namespace=YOUR_NAMESPACE delete pod ${pod2kill} && sleep 20; done

This is not a very good chaos-monkey for a million reasons (it always kills machines politely, it only hits in one namespace, happens on a regular period, etc, etc) but it has been a useful tool for me as we make our app more resilient to server restarts :)
