reverse ssh experiment

[staszek-krotki]

Verify the feasibility of the reverse ssh architecture.

Experiment scenario:

• a single node that would proxy traffic through reverse ssh (ubuntu, aws t3.medium)
• 10 server nodes with 100 containers serving http streaming content
• 1 node with 1000 containers requesting http traffic through proxy from servers

Observations:

• proxy server has not reached its capacity with
  • ~95% memory usage (4GB available)
  • ~30% cpu usage (2 vCPUs available)
• high throughput - up to 20GB/s
