Steps to Deploy DeathStar using Go Script

This readme is meant to provide insight into setting up and running the media-microservices DeathStarBench on a Cloudlab instance with 3 nodes (1 master, 2 worker nodes)

It has also been tested with the social-network micrroservices application. The only change is in the namespace that you have to create (i.e. create namespace social-network)

Setup Steps:

Install Docker and Kubernetes and Go
Instantiate a K8s cluster
Install python3-pip, asyncio, and aiohttp

Install k8s client go libraries:

    go get k8s.io/api
    go get k8s.io/apimachinery
    go get k8s.io/client-go

Deploy Application without Go Script

Change lines 55, 59, 63, and 67 in <path-to-repo>/DeathStarBench/mediaMicroservices/k8s-yaml/nginx-web-server.yaml which refers to the the installation directory location of DeathStarBench to the appropriate location
On Master note, create namespace media-microsvc via: kubectl create namespace media-microsvc
Deploy all pods via: kubectl apply -f <path-of-repo>/mediaMicroservices/k8s-yaml/
Wait until kubectl -n media-microsvc get pod displays all Pods as running

Deploy Application with Go Script

Change lines 55, 59, 63, and 67 in <path-to-repo>/DeathStarBench/mediaMicroservices/k8s-yaml/nginx-web-server.yaml which refers to the the installation directory location of DeathStarBench to the appropriate location
On Master note, create namespace media-microsvc via: kubectl create namespace media-microsvc
Deploy all pods via: go run main.go -f <path-to-app-def-json>
- assure that the app-def JSON file has the correct filepath to the deployment application
Wait until kubectl -n media-microsvc get pod displays all Pods as running

Register users and movie information

Use kubectl -n media-microsvc get svc nginx-web-server to get its cluster-ip.
Paste the cluster ip at <path-of-repo>/mediaMicroservices/scripts/write_movie_info.py:99 and <path-of-repo>/mediaMicroservices/scripts/register_users.sh:5 3.Update <path-of-repo>/mediaMicroservices/scripts/write_movie_info.py:95 & 97 to point to the installation path of the repo
python3 <path-of-repo>/mediaMicroservices/scripts/write_movie_info.py && <path-of-repo>/mediaMicroservices/scripts/register_users.sh

Running HTTP workload generator

A sample workload can be to compose reviews - to do this, do:

Paste the cluster ip at <path-of-repo>/mediaMicroservices/wrk2/scripts/media-microservices/compose-review.lua:1032
