dse-uptime-demo

This demo is to showcase DSE's ability to be continuously available under any circumstance and it has two parts: The Demo application and khaosKatz. The Demo is a simple application that writes data into DSE, but if it misses a single write the application will crash. KhaosKatz will continously load random scenarios taking down different nodes and/or entire datacenters. The goal is to run the Demo application successfully even while khaosKatz starts taking things down ungracefully.

Setup the cluster

• 2+ DCs, 3+ nodes each
• Opscenter

Setup the Demo app

(Note: If you installed the AssetHub Multi-Cloud Cluster everything is already setup in /tmp/dse-uptime-demo on the opscenter node. If you don't know what AssetHub is you can safely ignore this note :) )

• sudo apt-get install python-pip
• sudo pip install dse-driver
• git clone https://github.com/russkatz/dse-uptime-demo
  • cd dse-uptime-demo

  demo.ini: Configuration file
  makeini.sh: Script to create demo.ini based on Opscenter
  writeDemo.py: Demo application to write data into the cluster
  readDemo.py: Read application to read back data written into the cluster from the writeDemo app
  khaosKatz.sh: Automated Chaos! Simulates different cluster failure scenarios

• create demo.ini

  • ./makeini.sh demo.ini opscenter.hostname

• optional: edit demo.ini

  • Setup SSL/Auth if required
  • Update SSH private keys
  • Change the consistency levels for the applications
  • Change local DCs for the read/write applications

Running the Demo

• open new terminal and run ./writeDemo.py
• open new terminal and run ./readDemo.py
• Open new terminal and run ./khaosKatz.sh
  • Select failure scenarios and see how the applications respond!
