What: Write a pod kill experiment for some deployment
Why: It tests deployment replica availability and recovery

Hey, if you want to take a shot at this, we have a tutorial on writing actions at https://docs.robusta.dev/master/tutorials/my-first-custom-action.html

Won't the pod kill experiment be similar to the node kill experiment?

Yes, although that depends on what you're trying to simulate. If you just want to kill the pod gracefully you can do something like pod.delete() and that's it.

Yah, I just want to delete some pod and the hypothesis is the deployment will scale up another pod to maintain the replica count, that's the experiment

What will be the trigger for deleting the pod?

Just random delete. I haven't thought of any trigger yet, you may suggest, if you have any ideas @arikalon1
