Pumba

Pumba is a free, open-source chaos testing and network emulation tool for Docker, containerd, and Podman containers. It can kill, stop, pause, remove, and restart containers, while network experiments can add delay, packet loss, duplication, corruption, or rate limits through netem or iptables. Its stress command exercises CPU, memory, and I/O with stress-ng. Targets can be chosen by container name, regular expression, label, or random selection, and experiments can recur at fixed intervals. Pumba documents deployment with Docker, Kubernetes DaemonSets, and OpenShift, and supports Kubernetes workflows. Released binaries and a GitHub Container Registry image are available; the Docker Hub image is marked deprecated. Linux is the primary platform. macOS binaries drive a remote Linux container VM, while Windows is not supported or planned. Pumba runs self-hosted under the Apache License 2.0 and requires privileged access to container runtimes, so its guidance calls for controlled environments and restricted socket access. Security fixes apply only to the latest released minor version. Community support is directed to GitHub Issues and the project blog.
