Overview
Test includes the Non-RT RIC components: Policy Management Service (aka Policy Agent) , A1-Controller and A1 simulators
Tested on one Cloud VM - all components and simulators running on the same machine using docker or kubernetes - with the following spec: 84CPU, 16GB RAM and and Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
Docker runs all components a single node in the cluster
Kubernetes uses the whole cluster (6 worker noedes, 1 control node)
(Note: this is a benchmark report running docker on google a Xerces cloud instance with kubernetes running ONAP )
Each test is using 20 A1-Simulator. 7 processes are running in parallel to create/delete a total of 10000 policies (500 in each of the 20 A1-Simulator)

Tested with the latest available images: Sat Jun 19 2021
Result - docker
Note that all simulators are as well as the test engine is running on the same machine.
"REST" in the table below indicate the NB REST interface of the Policy Management Service.
"HTTP" and "HTTPS" indicate which protocol has been used between the components.
