Have you considered using or maybe even used KubeInvaders to make chaos engineering in Kubernetes fun? It features a new demo now! But first, let’s recall what this tool is about.

KubeInvaders describes itself as a “gamified Chaos Engineering tool for Kubernetes,” which sums it up perfectly. There was a classic shoot 'em up arcade video game from the 70s, Space Invaders, involving a laser cannon to shoot rows of aliens. This project mimics it by using your actual Kubernetes Pods as aliens you’re shooting. It comes with various features, including:

- Shuffling the positions of the Pods to be killed;
- Randomly switching between namespaces;
- Showing you online stats (running/not running/deleted Pods) and events;
- Exposing Prometheus metrics;
- Programming mode (beta) to define your chaos experiments in YAML.

Now, the project also has a live demo, meaning you can open your web browser and play with KubeInvaders against a preconfigured Kubernetes cluster.
