In Kubernetes, choosing the right storage solution can be a game changer, especially when dealing with local storage from the […]

Experiencing a DNS failure in your Kubernetes cluster? I’ve been there. In this blog, I share a fast and simple solution using dnsmasq to get your cluster back online quickly-without the need for a complex DNS setup. If you’re looking for a quick fix, this guide is for you!

I explored Kubernetes deployment options like Minikube, k3d, kind, and MicroK8s to find the best fit for local setups. This post compares the top options for running Kubernetes efficiently on a laptop.

In this blog, we dive into real-world chaos engineering scenarios using LitmusChaos, an open-source tool for testing Kubernetes resilience. We explore three key experiments: simulating network latency on an NGINX application, generating high load with the k6-loadgen experiment, and inducing memory pressure on a node using the node-memory-hog fault. These practical examples demonstrate how LitmusChaos can uncover vulnerabilities in your Kubernetes setup, ensuring your applications are prepared for unexpected failures. Learn how to implement these experiments and monitor the results with Grafana dashboards.

In this part of the series, we focus on installing and configuring LitmusChaos in Kubernetes. We walk through a step-by-step installation using Helm and explore the LitmusChaos UI, which simplifies chaos experiment management. If you’re looking to get started with chaos engineering in Kubernetes, this guide provides practical insights and sets the stage for real-world chaos scenarios in the next part.

Part2: Introduction to LitmusChaos This is part2 of the series : “Simplifying Chaos Engineering in Kubernetes: A Guide with LitmusChaos“

In this series, we will understand the importance of Chaos Engineering in general and explore the CNCF tool LitmusChaos, specifically
