Evaluating operational readiness using chaos engineering simulations on Kubernetes architecture in Big Data

- How much confidence we can have in the interconnected complex systems that we put into production environment? In this paper we will provide the solution for operational readiness of a platform strengthening the backup, restore, network file transfer, failover capabilities and overall security. We provide the evaluation of inducing chaos to a Kubernetes environment which terminates random pods with data from edge devices in data centers while processing analytics on Big Data network and infer the recovery time of pods to calculate an estimated response time. In this research, we discuss the Operational Acceptance Testing through Chaos Engineering at all layers and more precisely on the modern architecture and practices like Microservices Architecture and Cloud computing which have changed our IT landscape in recent times.
