Krkn

Abstract

1. Introduction

Chaos and resiliency testing tool for Kubernetes. Kraken injects deliberate failures into Kubernetes clusters to check if it is resilient to turbulent conditions.

Instructions on how to setup, configure and run Kraken can be found in the documentation.

2. Objective

Chaos and resiliency testing tool for Kubernetes with a focus on improving performance under failure conditions. A CNCF sandbox project.

This project demonstrates how Python, Kubernetes can be applied to a real-world Blockchain & Cloud Computing problem.

4. Technology Stack

8. Viva / Review Questions

Common questions examiners ask for projects in this domain.

1. Why does this problem need a blockchain or cloud-native design?
2. Explain the smart contract / infrastructure components and how they interact.
3. How are gas costs or cloud costs kept under control?
4. How is the system secured (keys, IAM, access control)?
5. How would the solution scale to many more users?
