Krkn-Chaos
Krkn Documentation
Krkn is an open-source chaos engineering tool that injects deliberate failures into Kubernetes clusters so SREs, developers, and platform teams can verify their systems recover automatically. Start here to install, run your first scenario, and build confidence in your cluster's resilience.

Why Krkn?
Purpose-built for real-world chaos engineering
Why Chaos? Distributed systems often assume the network is reliable, latency is zero, and resources are always available — yet these assumptions lead to outages. Chaos testing helps uncover weaknesses before they impact production.
Why Krkn? We built Krkn to be lightweight (runs outside the cluster), support both cloud and Kubernetes scenarios, perform metric checks during and after chaos, and validate resilience with post-scenario alerts. Learn more about Krkn.
