Confidence with Chaos for Your Kubernetes Observability

on YouTube ↗36m

" summary

Demo injects DNS failures with Chaos Mesh (NXDOMAIN) against a Kubernetes app, produces a steady memory leak, and trips a Prometheus alert and an SLO violation — proof that chaos can validate alerts and SLOs. Coverage includes using Prometheus/Alertmanager, Grafana dashboards, PrometheusOperator serviceMonitors, OpenTelemetry traces sent to Jaeger, and ideas for scheduled chaos, CI/CD integration, cautious staging, and eBPF/Tetragon for deeper observability.
