podtato	CNCF example app as plain YAML

Tools

The create-replay shell script can be used to run a replay on a workload and sync with argo. This can be kicked off from this example script:

./tools/create-replay.sh \
  --dest-dir DEST_DIR \
  --workload-name WORKLOAD_NAME \
  --snapshot-id SNAPSHOT_ID \
  --test-config-id TEST_CONFIG_ID \
  --build-tag BUILD_TAG \
  --replay-name REPLAY_NAME

These are the values:

DEST_DIR - where you want to create the traffic replay CR
WORKLOAD_NAME - what workload does the traffic replay run against
SNAPSHOT_ID - what traffic snapshot to use
BUILD_TAG - what build hash to use (will use current time epoch if not supplied)
TEST_CONFIG_ID - what test config to use (will use standard if not supplied)
REPLAY_NAME - what replay name to use (will use $BUILD_TAG if not supplied)

Deploy podtato

How to deploy podtato in your argo:

argocd app create podtato \
--repo https://github.com/kenahrens/argocd-example-apps.git \
--path podtato \
--dest-server https://kubernetes.default.svc \
--dest-namespace default

How to run a replay:

./tools/create-replay.sh \
  --dest-dir podtato \
  --workload-name podtato-head-entry \
  --snapshot-id 41a06065-ec28-438a-b9f4-0e976c6f64ca

As it's running you will see it creates the CR, checks it in and syncs argo, and then waits for the test report to be complete. You should see it print this kind of output at the end:
