The process can be broadly classified into following four operations. -============ -Introduction -============ +1. Setting up of Kubernetes Cluster. +2. Deploying container networking solution. +3. Deploying pod(s). +4. Running tests. +First step is achieved through the tool present in *tools/k8s/cluster-deployment* folder. Please refer to the documentation present in that folder for automated kubernetes cluster setup. To perform the remaining steps, the user has to run the following command. + +.. code-block:: console + + vsperf --k8s --conf-file k8s.conf pcp_tput + +************************ +Important Configurations +************************ + +VSPERF has introduced a new configuration parameters, as listed below, for kubernetes CNB. The file *12_k8s.conf*, present in conf folder provides sample values. User has to modify these parameters to suit their environment before running the above command. + +1. K8S_CONFIG_FILEPATH - location of the kubernetes-cluster access file. This will be used to connect to the cluster. +2. PLUGIN - The plugin to use. Allowed values are OvsDPDK, VPP, and SRIOV. +3. NETWORK_ATTACHMENT_FILEPATH - location of the network attachment definition file. +4. CONFIGMAP_FILEPATH - location of the config-map file. This will be used only for SRIOV plugin. +5. POD_MANIFEST_FILEPATH - location of the POD definition file. +6. APP_NAME - Application to run in the pod. Options - l2fwd, testpmd, and l3fwd. + + +********* +Testcases +********* +Kubernetes CNB will be done through new testcases. For Jerma release, only pcp_tput will be supported. This testcase, will be similar to pvp_tput, where VNF is replaced with a pod/container. The pcp_tput testcase, will still use phy2phy as deployment. In future releases, a new deployment model will be added to support more testcases for kubernetes |
