    "report": "The Chaos Engineering experiment results indicate several critical insights into the system's resilience and failure points:\n\n1. **PodRunning Steady State Failure**:\n   - The 'fault-unittest-podrunning' and 'post-unittest-podrunning' tests failed, indicating that the Pod 'example-pod' was not found during and after the fault injection phase. This suggests that the Pod was either terminated or failed to restart due to the 'PodChaos' fault, which simulates a Pod failure.\n   - The Pod's restart policy is set to 'Never', which means it does not automatically restart if it fails. This configuration is a significant vulnerability, as it does not allow the system to recover from Pod failures, leading to prolonged downtime.\n   - The failure to maintain the 'PodRunning' steady state highlights the need for a more resilient Pod configuration, such as using a 'Always' or 'OnFailure' restart policy to ensure automatic recovery from failures.\n\n2. **ServiceTrafficRouting Steady State Failure**:\n   - The 'post-unittest-servicetrafficrouting' test failed, with 100% of HTTP requests failing. This indicates that the Service was unable to route traffic to the Pod, likely because the Pod was not running.\n   - The 'NetworkChaos' fault, which introduced network latency, and the 'PodChaos' fault, which terminated the Pod, both contributed to the disruption in service traffic routing. The network latency could have caused initial delays, but the Pod termination was the primary cause of the complete failure in routing traffic.\n   - The failure to maintain the 'ServiceTrafficRouting' steady state suggests that the system's reliance on a single Pod is a bottleneck. Implementing a Deployment with multiple replicas could improve resilience by ensuring that traffic can be routed to other available Pods if one fails.\n\n3. **Pre-Validation Success**:\n   - The successful pre-validation tests ('pre-unittest-podrunning' and 'pre-unittest-servicetrafficrouting') confirm that the system was initially in a healthy state, with the Pod running and the Service correctly routing traffic. This baseline is crucial for understanding the impact of the injected faults.\n\n4. **Fault Injection Impact**:\n   - The staggered fault injection strategy effectively tested the system's resilience. The combination of network latency, CPU stress, and Pod termination exposed the system's vulnerabilities, particularly the lack of redundancy and automatic recovery mechanisms.\n   - The experiment's design, with overlapping fault injections and continuous monitoring, provided a comprehensive assessment of the system's ability to maintain steady states under stress.\n\nIn conclusion, the experiment revealed that the system's current configuration is not resilient to the simulated fault scenario. Key recommendations include revising the Pod's restart policy, implementing a Deployment with multiple replicas, and considering network policies to mitigate the impact of network disruptions. These changes would enhance the system's ability to maintain steady states and improve overall resilience."
