whitelisting suggestion about kube-monkey HOT 6 OPEN

Are you thinking of a scenario where all deployments within the whitelisted namespaces will be enrolled into Kube monkey? We'd have to figure out a way to specify parameters like MTBF etc. in this case.

An alternative way to do that would be instead of opting in deployments, maybe there could be an option to opt-in namespaces instead (by adding the kubernetes labels to them).

In either case, this isn't something that is currently supported. I'll try to take a look, but PRs are also welcome.

We too had discussed the preference of configuring opt-in vs opt-out. The cluster we would like to run this on has feature namespaces provisioned sometimes on daily basis in which case, we likely would not want to disturb those. This would also require us to constantly update the blacklisting of namespaces, versus explicitly saying which namespaces to run it against. I might look into branching off and making it configurable.

@EIrwin I'm all for having an opt-in option. I just haven't figured out the best way to handle configurations like MTBF etc in this case. Perhaps we could use a system where you globally set the mode to opt-in and specify some global value for MTBF. individual deployments can then override this value.

I'll take a look at this but if you do end up forking and implementing this, do ping me and I'll take a look at it.

@asobti that was similar to the approach I have started implementing. The first iteration could simply use a opt-in bool along with a global MTBF to be used. In later iteration(s), this could be extended to allow individual deployments to override this value.

Sounds good. I'll hold off on working on this for now in that case so we're not repeating the same work.

Facing the same use-case. We have a shared cluster and there's no way for us to know all the namespaces to blacklist.

Maybe another idea is to have kube-monkey run per namespace? Or limit via RBAC rules?
