Distributed Load Testing Using Kubernetes

In this lab you will learn how to use Kubernetes Engine to deploy a distributed load testing framework. The framework uses multiple containers to create load testing traffic for a simple REST-based API. Although this solution tests a simple web application, the same pattern can be used to create more complex load testing scenarios such as gaming or Internet-of-Things (IoT) applications. This solution discusses the general architecture of a container-based load testing framework.

System under test

For this lab the system under test is a small web application deployed to Google App Engine. The application exposes basic REST-style endpoints to capture incoming HTTP POST requests (incoming data is not persisted).

Example workloads

The application that you’ll deploy is modeled after the backend service component found in many Internet-of-Things (IoT) deployments. Devices first register with the service and then begin reporting metrics or sensor readings, while also periodically re-registering with the service.

To model this interaction, you’ll use Locust, a distributed, Python-based load testing tool that is capable of distributing requests across multiple target paths. For example, Locust can distribute requests to the /login and /metrics target paths.

The workload is based on the interaction described above and is modeled as a set of Tasks in Locust. To approximate real-world clients, each Locust task is weighted. For example, registration happens once per thousand total client requests.

Container-based computing

The Locust container image is a Docker image that contains the Locust software.
A container cluster consists of at least one cluster master and multiple worker machines called nodes. These master and node machines run the Kubernetes cluster orchestration system. For more information about clusters, see the Kubernetes Engine documentation
A pod is one or more containers deployed together on one host, and the smallest compute unit that can be defined, deployed, and managed. Some pods contain only a single container. For example, in this lab, each of the Locust containers runs in its own pod.
A Deployment controller provides declarative updates for Pods and ReplicaSets. This lab has two deployments: one for locust-master and other for locust-worker.

Services

A particular pod can disappear for a variety of reasons, including node failure or intentional node disruption for updates or maintenance. This means that the IP address of a pod does not provide a reliable interface for that pod. A more reliable approach would use an abstract representation of that interface that never changes, even if the underlying pod disappears and is replaced by a new pod with a different IP address. A Kubernetes Engine service provides this type of abstract interface by defining a logical set of pods and a policy for accessing them.

In this lab there are several services that represent pods or sets of pods. For example, there is a service for the DNS server pod, another service for the Locust master pod, and a service that represents all 10 Locust worker pods.

Create a system under test i.e. a small web application deployed to Google App Engine.
Use Kubernetes Engine to deploy a distributed load testing framework.
Create load testing traffic for a simple REST-based API.

Set project and zone

Define environment variables for the project id, region and zone you want to use for the lab.

Load testing master

The first component of the deployment is the Locust master, which is the entry point for executing the load testing tasks described above. The Locust master is deployed with a single replica because we need only one master.

The configuration for the master deployment specifies several elements, including the ports that need to be exposed by the container (8089 for web interface, 5557 and 5558 for communicating with workers). This information is later used to configure the Locust workers.

Deploy locust-master

Replace [TARGET_HOST] and [PROJECT_ID] in locust-master-controller.yaml and locust-worker-controller.yaml with the deployed endpoint and project-id respectively.

Load testing workers

The next component of the deployment includes the Locust workers, which execute the load testing tasks described above. The Locust workers are deployed by a single deployment that creates multiple pods. The pods are spread out across the Kubernetes cluster. Each pod uses environment variables to control important configuration information such as the hostname of the system under test and the hostname of the Locust master.

Scaling up the number of simulated users will require an increase in the number of Locust worker pods. To increase the number of pods deployed by the deployment, Kubernetes offers the ability to resize deployments without redeploying them.

After the Locust workers are deployed, you can return to the Locust master web interface and see that the number of slaves corresponds to the number of deployed workers.

The following diagram shows the relationship between the Locust master and the Locust workers:

The flow from the Locust master to the Locust worker to the application

Execute tests

To execute the Locust tests, get the external IP address by following command

student_01_7771ea220d2b@cloudshell:~/distributed-load-testing-using-kubernetes (qwiklabs-gcp-04-32db76504dc6)$ EXTERNAL_IP=$(kubectl get svc locust-master -o yaml | grep ip: | awk -F": " '{print $NF}')
echo http://$EXTERNAL_IP:8089
http://35.196.106.66:8089
student_01_7771ea220d2b@cloudshell:~/distributed-load-testing-using-kubernetes (qwiklabs-gcp-04-32db76504dc6)$ 

The Locust master web interface enables you to execute the load testing tasks against the system under test.

To begin, specify the total number of users to simulate and a rate at which each user should be spawned.
Next, click Start swarming to begin the simulation. For example you can specify Number of users to simulate as 300 and Hatch rate as 10.
Click Start swarming.

As time progresses and users are spawned, statistics aggregate for simulation metrics, such as the number of requests and requests per second.

To stop the simulation, click Stop and the test will terminate. The complete results can be downloaded into a spreadsheet.
