Locust Kubernetes
This repository contains a working Kubernetes deployment for the Locust load testing framework.
Prerequisites
This deployment uses the Microk8s https://microk8s.io/ local Kubernetes single-node cluster as it exists entirely for demonstrative purposes. This configuration has only been tested on Linux for this reason.
Base Locust Image
The base Docker image used within this demo can be found in the associated docker-compose flavoured repo found here: https://github.com/Mquinn960/locust-docker-compose
This K8s stack also makes use of this image for simplicity, so this will require a build of the docker image pushed to the local Microk8s image repository running at localhost:32000 in order to work.
Locust Files
The Locust files used in this demonstration can be found in the repository here: https://github.com/Mquinn960/locust-files
Run Commands
In order to alter and run this deployment, you can use the
dev-action.sh script, passing the required parameter:
- create
- Creates the stack
- delete
- Deletes the stack
- apply
- Applies any config changes to the running deployment
For example:
sudo bash dev-action.sh delete
The deployment can also be managed from kubectl in
the standard manner.
Disclaimer
This setup is not intended for production usage, and care should be exercised in order to not execute inadvertant DDOS attacks on unwitting hosts.
