Description

To test failure resilience today you either need custom scripts or implement Chaos Monkey-like logic in your application (SLIDER-202).

Killing AMs and containers on a schedule & probability is the core activity here, one that could be handled by a CLI App/client lib that does this.

1. entry point to have a startup delay before acting
2. frequency of chaos wakeup/polling
3. probability to AM failure generation (0-100)
4. probability of non-AM container kill
5. future: other operations

Sub-Tasks

• Add API and CLI to kill container on given containerId: Open
