The load test with Fargate for EKS

It is inspire to GoogleCloudPlatform/distributed-load-testing-using-kubernetes and refer to kaarolch/kubernetes-jmeter,kubernauts/jmeter-kubernetes

prerequisits Kubernetes > v1.10.11
kubectl > v1.16.3
eksctl > v0.11.10

Build docker image

The following script it is build jmeter master image and jmeter slave image. If you want to use without local, you must register image somewhere registry service. e.g.) ECR,DockerHub

./command_docker_image_create.sh

Build EKS with eksctl command

Install eksctrl with refer to the guide. Getting Started with eksctl

eksctl create cluster --name <CLUSTER_NAME> \
--region ap-northeast-1 \
--version 1.14 \
--fargate

※ cleaning up eks cluster

eksctl delete cluster --name <CLUSTER_NAME>

Build JMeter cluster

The following script is make namespace (you must specified it), create node, slave replicas and service, and master deployment.

If you want to use an ECR Image. You need to change the following line.

L:21 in jmeter_master_deploy.yaml

        image: jmeter-master:latest

L:21 in jmeter_slaves_deploy.yaml

        image: jmeter-master:latest

create JMeter cluster

./command_jmeter_cluster_create.sh

Result:

(You can get same result with this command

kubectl get -n [namespace] all

※ remove JMeter cluster

The following script delete resource in namespace. You can delete resources created by command_jmeter_cluster_create.sh

./command_jmeter_cluster_clear.sh

Run load test

./container_start_test.sh -fsample.jmx

It need specify jmx file path with [-f] option. And If you need specify option for the test scenario. You can specied [-G] or [-J] options. Please refer to the following for the difference between J option and G option.

1.4.6 Overriding Properties Via The Command Line

e.g.

./container_start_test.sh -fsample.jmx -GTHREAD=10 -GRAMPUP=10 -GLOOP=1

Get the result

./command_container_download_result.sh

It download result.jtl file to the report directory.

Scaling

scaling pods

Just change the number of replicas.

kubectl -n [namespace] scale deployment/jmeter-slaves --replicas=5
