Consul Benchmark
|
|
================
|
|
|
|
This repo contains the Packer automation necessary for the Consul benchmarks.
|
|
|
|
There is a single main Packer file `bench.json`. To use it, the variables
|
|
for `do_client_id` and `do_api_key` must be provided. There correspond to
|
|
your DigitalOcean client id and API key.
|
|
|
|
When Packer runs, it will generate 3 images:
|
|
* bench-bootstrap - Consul server in bootstrap mode
|
|
* bench-server - Consul server
|
|
* bench-worker - Worker node
|
|
|
|
For the benchmark you should start 1 bootstrap instance, and 2 normal
|
|
servers. As many workers as desired can be started. Once the nodes are
|
|
up, you must SSH into one of the Consul servers.
|
|
|
|
Connect all the nodes with:
|
|
|
|
$ consul join <n1> ... <n5>
|
|
|
|
This will connect all the nodes within the same datacenter.
|
|
|
|
To run the benchmarks, use the Makefile:
|
|
|
|
$ cd /
|
|
$ make # Runs all the benchmarks
|
|
$ make put # Runs only the PUT benchmarks
|
|
|
|
There is no good way to currently cause multiple workers to run at the same
|
|
time, so I just type in the make command and rapidly start the test on all
|
|
workers. It is not perfect, but the test runs long enough that the calls
|
|
overlap.
