Terraform Consul Load Testing
Packer will output AMI IDs when it completes - save these AMI IDs as Terraform will require them later.
The generated ami will have common tag Environment = "consul-load-test".
==> Builds finished. The artifacts of successful builds are:
--> amazon-ebs: AMIs were created:
us-east-1: ami-19601070
Consul AMI:
Within the consul-ami/ directory
- Retrieve your Datadog API key, set this as an environment variable, ex:
export DD_API_KEY=$YOURDDAPIKEYHERE - Set the AWS_DEFAULT_REGION for Packer, ex:
export AWS_DEFAULT_REGION=us-east-1 - Set up AWS credentials, ex:
export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=#YOURAWSKEYID & export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=YOURAWSKEY - Run
packer build consul.pkr.hcl.
For additional customization you can add tags within the scripts/datadog.yaml file. An example of a tag could be "consul_version" : "consulent_175". These tags are searchable through the datadog dashboard. Another form of customization is changing the datacenter tag within scripts/telemetry.json, however it is defaulted to us-east-1.
Load Test AMI
Within the loadtest-ami/ directory
- Set the AWS_DEFAULT_REGION for Packer, ex:
export AWS_DEFAULT_REGION=us-east-1 - Run the command
packer build loadtest.pkr.hcl
The script that k6 runs is found within scripts/loadtest.js. This script can be updated to send requests to more Consul endpoints. For additional information on k6 please check out their guides.
