openstack_loadtest

Python project that uses the Python Locust library to create load tests for OpenStack services.

Requirements

Python 3.6+.

Note

Because Python 2.7 supports ended January 1, 2020, new projects should consider supporting Python 3 only, which is simpler than trying to support both. As a result, support for Python 2.7 in this example project has been dropped.

Dependencies

Dependencies are defined in:

• requirements.in
• requirements.txt
• dev-requirements.in
• dev-requirements.txt

Usage

First install the project with pip

• git clone https://github.com/hemna/openstack-loadtest
• cd openstack-loadtest
• virtualenv .venv (make sure you are using python3 binary for virtualenv)
• source .venv/bin/activate
• pip install .

Make sure you have a ~/.config/openstack/clouds.yaml configured to point to your openstack deployment.

Then set the OS_CLOUD env var to use an entry in your ~/.config/openstack/clouds.yaml

• export OS_CLOUD=devstack

Run the load test for fetching the cinder volumes detail test

• locust -f src/openstack_loadtest/cinder.py CinderUser --headless --tags volumes_info -u10 -t 30s
