Performance evaluation at Scale

[ksatchit]

Requirements

• fio workload (dbench - https://dbench.samba.org/)
• Scale from 1 to 2000 container instances, 1-3 replicas each, with detailed results recorded from each individual test
• Entire test itself is easily run with a single kubectl command
• Easily modifiable

Success:

• Single replica, no network overhead less than 10%
• As you add replicas, overhead is linear
• Jitter is managed to a tight, predictable window

In the spirit of https://medium.com/vescloud/kubernetes-storage-performance-comparison-9e993cb27271 but showing the unique scalability and linear performance advantages of MayaStor. The goal is to make this a benchmark demo and benchmark white paper we show/publish at KubeCon San Diego.
