Lambda toggle event mapping state
Lambda toggle event mapping state toggles (or sets) the event source mapping state to disable
for a Lambda function during a specific duration.
- It checks the performance of the running application (or service) when the event source mapping is not enabled which may cause missing entries in a database.
Usage
View fault usage
Toggling between different states of event source mapping from a Lambda function may lead to failures in updating the database on an event trigger. This can break the service and impact its delivery. It helps determine if the application has proper error handling or auto recovery actions configured.
Prerequisites
- Kubernetes >= 1.17
- AWS Lambda event source mapping attached to the lambda function.
- Kubernetes secret that has AWS access configuration(key) in the
CHAOS_NAMESPACE
. A secret file looks like this:
apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
name: cloud-secret
type: Opaque
stringData:
cloud_config.yml: |-
# Add the cloud AWS credentials respectively
[default]
aws_access_key_id = XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
aws_secret_access_key = XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
- If you change the secret key name (from
cloud_config.yml
), update theAWS_SHARED_CREDENTIALS_FILE
environment variable value onexperiment.yaml
with the same name.
Permissions required
Here is an example AWS policy to execute the fault.
View policy for the fault
{
"Version": "2012-10-17",
"Statement": [
{
"Effect": "Allow",
"Action": [
"lambda:ListEventSourceMappings",
"lambda:DeleteEventSourceMapping",
"lambda:UpdateEventSourceMapping",
"lambda:CreateEventSourceMapping",
"lambda:UpdateFunctionConfiguration",
"lambda:GetFunctionConcurrency",
"lambda:GetFunction",
"lambda:DeleteFunctionConcurrency",
"lambda:PutFunctionConcurrency"
],
"Resource": "*"
}
]
}
Refer to the superset permission/policy to execute all AWS faults.
Default validations
The AWS Lambda event source mapping is healthy and attached to the lambda function.
Fault tunables
Fault tunables
Mandatory fields
Variables | Description | Notes |
---|---|---|
FUNCTION_NAME | Function name of the target lambda function. It supports single function name. | For example, test-function |
EVENT_UUIDS | Provide the UUID for the target event source mapping. | You can provide multiple values as (,) comma-separated values. For example, id1,id2 |
REGION | The region name of the target lambda function | For example, us-east-2 |
Optional fields
Variables | Description | Notes |
---|---|---|
TOTAL_CHAOS_DURATION | The total time duration for chaos insertion in seconds | Defaults to 30s |
SEQUENCE | It defines sequence of chaos execution for multiple instance | Default value: parallel. Supported: serial, parallel |
RAMP_TIME | Period to wait before and after injection of chaos in sec | For example, 30 |
Fault examples
Common and AWS-specific tunables
Refer to the common attributes and AWS-specific tunables to tune the common tunables for all faults and aws specific tunables.
Multiple event source mapping
It toggles between multiple event source mapping for a certain chaos duration using EVENT_UUIDS
environment variable that takes the UUID of the events as a comma-separated value (CSV file).
Use the following example to tune it:
# contains the removal of multiple event source mapping
apiVersion: litmuschaos.io/v1alpha1
kind: ChaosEngine
metadata:
name: engine-nginx
spec:
engineState: "active"
chaosServiceAccount: litmus-admin
experiments:
- name: lambda-toggle-event-mapping-state
spec:
components:
env:
# provide UUIDS of event source mapping
- name: EVENT_UUIDS
value: 'id1,id2'
# provide the function name for the chaos
- name: FUNCTION_NAME
value: 'chaos-function'
