Valkiria is an open source project based on http://principlesofchaos.org/ concepts an inspired by Netflix ChaosMonkey tool. It is designed to be compatible with Stratio PAAS but can work with any cluster of Mesos. Can kill processes randomly or selectively so it is a great tool for:
- Test high availability (HA)
- Test fault tolerance (FT)
- Prediction of error cases in the underlying technologies
- Benchmarking of HA and FT capabilities of different distributed architectures
- Sizing productive environments
- Understand environments

- Valkiria Metrics - coming soon
- Systemd init system
- DBus
Is based on orchestrator/agent architecture. The orchestrator has the responsibility to orchestrate Chaos sessions, discover the live agents, know the name of the tasks that are running and manage security (Enterprise Edition). The agent has the responsibility to kill the process by task name. Agent kills daemons via systemd API from DBus, kills task via 'kill' and kills docker task via 'docker kill'.
$ go get -u github.com/stratio/valkiria
$ make$ valkiria orchestrator log=INFO
$ valkiria agent log=INFODo not use in production, is in Alpha version. You need to run the agent process with root privileges. To run the project test is also necessary to have root privileges.
