|-----------|-----------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| count     | integer or percentage | the number of pods to be terminated. It can be specified as a integer number or as a percentage, for example `30%`, that defines the fraction of target pods to be terminated |

> Note
> 
> If the count is a percentage and there are no enough elements in the target pod list, the number is rounded up. For example ‘25%’ of a list of 2 target pods will terminate one pod. If the list of target pods is not empty, at least one pod is always terminated.

## Example

This example defines a PorTermination fault that will terminate `30%` of target pods
