This recipe showed you how to quickly run a predefined chaos attack on your worker nodes where applications are scheduled to run by Kubernetes.

Keep in mind that, although we were looking for the impact on specific pods in the Creating a CPU attack and Creating a node shutdown attack recipes, the whole node was under attack, so the other pods on the node were also impacted.

Especially in small clusters, it is suggested to limit your blast radius and start targeting a single container of a pod. This can be done using network latency attacks and by specifying the ports that are relevant to the containers you wish to see the attack work on.
