Benchmark tests 20210619 - docker/kubernetes

Overview

Test includes the Non-RT RIC components: Policy Management Service , 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: 4CPU, 16GB RAM 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 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)

Images

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.

Test case setup	Protocol	Operation	Time (seconds)
REST towards Policy Management Service connecting to the simulators	HTTP	Create policy - 10000	86
REST towards Policy Management Service connecting to the simulators	HTTPS	Create policy - 10000	143
REST towards Policy Management Service connecting via the A1-Controller to the simulators	HTTP	Create policy - 10000	305
REST towards Policy Management Service connecting via the A1-Controller to the simulators	HTTPS	Create policy - 10000	468
REST towards Policy Management Service connecting to the simulators	HTTP	Delete policy - 10000	67
REST towards Policy Management Service connecting to the simulators	HTTPS	Delete policy - 10000	133
REST towards Policy Management Service connecting via the A1-Controller to the simulators	HTTP	Delete policy - 10000	269
REST towards Policy Management Service connecting via the A1-Controller to the simulators	HTTPS	Delete policy - 10000	399

Result - kubernetes

Note that the testengine runs on one node while the componentes/simulators are running on the worker nodes.
