Containerization of traffic generators with Xtesting - Sridhar Rao

• Integration with Xtesting - Lakelse

Notes

Discussion of traffic generators.  Where do they need to be installed?  They need to have additional tools installed either inside or outside the environment to test.  Need to deploy the tools (Rapid and Prox), then use K8S APIs to run the tests and collect results.  For this work the test results are pass/fail.  Stdout from "rapid" is additional results.  Should Anuket specify the mandatory service level – Potential approaches: Nodeport, LoadBalancer, External-IP.  So where do you put the control function (Rapid) to start and stop the traffic generator (Prox),  Currently it HAS to be inside the environment, better to move It to outside.  How do we do that?  Discussion.  Start with NodePort move to LoadBalancer later.  Already an open issue in the RA2 release https://github.com/cntt-n/CNTT/issues/2453

• One approach
  • There is a need for an application to LCM the test framework pods (Rapid, Prox), collect the results and calculate the test results
  • If this application is outside of the cluster and uses the Kubernetes API-s
  • For this the integration between Rapid and Xtesting needs to be modified
  • Presentation of the output needs to be also changed
• Maybe there are alternate approaches
  • If the complete Xtesting runs within the cluster the integration will be more easy
• In RA2 there are no guidelines about what are the mandatory service types
  • E.g.: Nodeport, Loadbalancer, External IP
  • There is an RA2 issue about this: https://github.com/cntt-n/CNTT/issues/2453
  • The approach for SSH connection is not defined without this
    • Best candidate would be Loadbalancer, for this RA2 should add Loadbalancer as a mandatory service
  • There are tests about Ingress in the Kubernetes conformance test suite
  • We are not sure if KubeRef has Loadbalancer or External IP installed
  • This is a pre requisite for successful testing
• Desired architecture:
• 
• Possible workaround:
• 
• Next steps
  • Nodeport is not a nice solution, but that supported by every Kubernetes deployments
    • For this the exact node and the port should be figured out
    • Nodeport is disliked by several telcos
    • It is good as a first iteration, let's start with this
  • Desired solution would be Loabalancer, but that needs an discussion in RA2 what cold take some time
