<p>In order to make some robustness tests on a multi pod system, I need to simulate somehow a pod failure.
I don't want to use scale down on the deployment since it is less realistic.
Deleting pods is also not very functional in my case since pods are coming back in a short time.</p>
<p>I have checked the responses on the:
<a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/56837717/how-to-simulate-power-failure-in-kubernetes">How to simulate Power Failure In Kubernetes</a>
And don't match my needs.
Any suggestion?</p>

<p>You can check this tool called <a href="https://chaos-mesh.org" rel="noreferrer">Chaos Mesh</a>.</p>
<p>This has options for Pod Failure, Network Failure, Creating Stress, IO Chaos etc.  Chaos mesh is specifically designed for Kubernetes and its open source.</p>
<p>There is also another great tool called <a href="https://litmuschaos.io" rel="noreferrer">Litmus</a>. This is also designed specifically for kubernetes.</p>
