How good is your OpenStack data plane under real heavy load?
|
|
|
|
KloudBuster is a tool that can load the data plane of any Neutron OpenStack cloud at massive scale and can measure how well the cloud behaves under load.
|
|
|
|
Features
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
* Neutron configuration agnostic (any encapsulation, any overlay, any plugin)
|
|
* Can load the data plane with one OpenStack cloud (single-cloud operations for L3 East-West scale) or 2 OpenStack clouds (dual-cloud operations with one cloud hosting the HTTP servers and the other loading HTTP traffic for L3 North-South scale testing)
|
|
* User can specify any number of tenants, routers, networks (only limited by cloud capacity) and KloudBuster will stage all these resources in a way that makes sense for operational data plane traffic
|
|
* HTTP traffic load:
|
|
* real HTTP servers (Nginx) running in real Linux images (Ubuntu14.04)
|
|
* can specify any number of HTTP servers per tenant
|
|
* high performance and highly scalable HTTP traffic generators to simulate huge number of HTTP users and TCP connections (hundreds of thousands to millions)
|
|
* overall throughput and latency measurement for every single HTTP request (typically millions per run) using the open source HdrHistogram library
|
|
* Traffic shaping to specify on which links traffic should flow
|
|
* Highly efficient and scalable metric aggregation
|
|
* Can support periodic reporting and aggregation of results
|
|
* Automatic cleanup upon termination (by default)
|
|
* Manual cleanup script
|
|
* Server mode and REST interface:
|
|
* allows KloudBuster to be driven by other programs
|
|
* Swagger 2.0 YAML description of the REST interface
|
|
* Aggregated results provide an easy to understand way to assess the scale of the cloud under test
|
|
* KloudBuster VM images built using OpenStack DIB (Disk Image Builder)
|
|
* Verified to work on any OpenStack release starting from IceHouse
|
|
|
|
Limitations
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
* requires Neutron networking (does not support Nova networking)
|
|
* only supports HTTP traffic in this version

Contributions and Feedbacks
|
|
---------------------------
|
|
|
|
If you are interested in OpenStack Performance and Scale, contributions and feedbakcs are welcome!
|
|
The KloudBuster code is still relatively small in size and touches many different areas such as:
|
|
|
|
* backend control plane and data plane (python, C)
|
|
* frontend RESTful interface
|
|
* REST modeilizatiuon (swagger)
|
|
* Web User Interface (javascript)
|
