TenKSpoons

Single threaded fake workload generator for the Ironic Bare Metal service.

This tool repeatedly creates and deploys a fake node, toggles the power state, then undeploys and deletes. Metrics are exposed on port 8000 which can be viewed in a browser and consumed by Prometheus.

Environment Variables

OS_CLOUD: valid key for openstacksdk clouds.yaml for a cloud containing a baremetal endpoint
TENKSPOONS_NAME: base name of created nodes, defaults to tenkspoons
TENKSPOONS_SUFFIX_LENGTH: length of random suffix to add to end of node name, defaults to 5. If set to 0 and node TENKSPOONS_NAME already exists then actions will be performed on that node (apart from create and delete).

Running as a script

Create a virtualenv and run the following:

pip install -r requirements.txt
export OS_CLOUD=mycloud
./tenkspoons
# Ctrl-c to exit, view metrics at http://localhost:8000/

Build a container

buildah bud -t quay.io/steveb/tenkspoons:main-latest .
