Choose Your Path

Find the right Krkn setup for your goals — from a quick first run to multi-cluster resilience pipelines.

Whether you’re running your first chaos scenario or building a production resilience pipeline, there’s a path here for you. Pick the journey that matches your experience level and goals — each one builds on the previous, so you can start simple and add complexity when you’re ready.

New to Krkn? Start with Basic Run — no configuration files, no metrics, just run a scenario and see what happens.

Familiar with the basics? Add automatic pass/fail evaluation with Metrics Validation, then layer in a Resilience Score to get a percentage-based view of how your system held up.

Running chaos regularly? Move to Long-Term Storage to persist metrics across runs and spot regressions between releases.

Operating at scale? Use Multi-Cluster Orchestration to drive chaos across multiple clusters or cloud environments from a single control point.

Basic Run

Run a chaos scenario and observe what happens — no metrics, no scoring, no pipeline.

Metrics Validation

Run chaos and automatically evaluate Prometheus metrics for a clear pass or fail without manual inspection.

Long-Term Storage

Persist metrics from every chaos run into Elasticsearch to compare behavior across releases, dates, or cluster configurations.

Resilience Score

Generate a numerical score (0–100%) that represents how well your environment held up during chaos.

Multi-Cluster Orchestration

Run chaos scenarios across multiple clusters or cloud environments from a single control point using krkn-operator.
