Ethereum AuRa (POA) Chain Load Test

Workflow

npm install
pip install -r requirements.txt
sudo pip install ansible

Setup 3 following variable in .env (see .env.example):

GCE_SERVICE_ACCOUNT - your service account name from IAM & Admin → Service Accounts section
GCE_KEY_PATH - path to your service account keys
GCE_PROJECT_ID - project number from Home section

Generate a new ssh key pair
Rename user (before @ sign) in .pub file to ubuntu. For ex., if your key in .pub file ends with Vitalik@Vitaliks-MacBook-Pro.local, replace it with ubuntu@Vitaliks-MacBook-Pro.local.
Go to Compute Engine → Metadata → SSH keys and paste your .pub key there.

Go to VPC Network → Firewall rules
Add a rule with:
- Name: peer
- Target tags: peer-node
- Protocols/ports: tcp:8080,8545,8546,30303; udp:30301
Add another rule:
- Name: validator
- Target tags: validator-node
- Protocols/ports: tcp:8545,8546,30303; udp:30301

provider - [gcloud, aws, do]
map - chain map name from ./maps folder (without .yml extension)
username - ubuntu username
home - home folder for validator user
genesis_network_name - the same name as in chain specification file spec.json
timestamp - timestamp for a generated config (do not set manually, generated by make generate command)
agent secret - secret word to protect access to publicly exposed agent http interface

make generate node generator.js ← generates keys an chain map
make create python providers/create.py ← launches instances in a cloud
make fetch python providers/fetch.py ← fetches metadata from created instances
make chain ansible-playbook -i hosts.txt chain.yml ← provises cloud instances with software and configs

Now you should have your chain launched and sealing blocks.

Use agent client.js to schedule agent jobs.
