# Resource Consumer
|
||||
|
||||
## Overview
|
||||
|
||||
Resource Consumer is a tool which allows to generate cpu/memory utilization in a container.
|
||||
The reason why it was created is testing kubernetes autoscaling.
|
||||
Resource Consumer can help with autoscaling tests for:
|
||||
- cluster size autoscaling,
|
||||
- horizontal autoscaling of pod - changing the size of replication controller,
|
||||
- vertical autoscaling of pod - changing its resource limits.
|
||||
|
||||
## Usage
|
||||
|
||||
Resource Consumer starts an HTTP server and handle sended requests.
|
||||
It listens on port given as a flag (default 8080).
|
||||
Action of consuming resources is send to the container by a POST http request.
|
||||
Each http request creates new process.
|
||||
Http request handler is in file resource_consumer_handler.go
|
||||
|
||||
The container consumes specified amount of resources:
|
||||
|
||||
- CPU in millicores,
|
||||
- Memory in megabytes.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
###Consume CPU http request
|
||||
|
||||
- suffix "ConsumeCPU",
|
||||
- parameters "millicores" and "durationSec".
|
||||
|
||||
Consumes specified amount of millicores for durationSec seconds.
|
||||
Consume CPU uses "./consume-cpu/consume-cpu" binary (file consume-cpu/consume_cpu.go).
|
||||
When CPU consumption is too low this binary uses cpu by calculating math.sqrt(0) 10^7 times
|
||||
and if consumption is too high binary sleeps for 10 millisecond.
|
||||
One replica of Resource Consumer cannot consume more that 1 cpu.
|
||||
|
||||
###Consume Memory http request
|
||||
|
||||
- suffix "ConsumeMem",
|
||||
- parameters "megabytes" and "durationSec".
|
||||
|
||||
Consumes specified amount of megabytes for durationSec seconds.
|
||||
Consume Memory uses stress tool (stress -m 1 --vm-bytes megabytes --vm-hang 0 -t durationSec).
|
||||
Request leading to consumig more memory then container limit will be ignored.
|
||||
|
||||
###CURL example
|
||||
```console
|
||||
$ kubectl run resource-consumer --image=gcr.io/google_containers/resource_consumer:beta
|
||||
$ kubectl expose rc resource-consumer --create-external-load-balancer=true --port=8080 --target-port=8080
|
||||
$ kubectl get services resource-consumer
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
There are two IPs first one is internal, second one is the external load-balanced IP. Both serving port 8080. (Use second one)
|
||||
|
||||
```console
|
||||
$ curl --data "millicores=300&durationSec=600" http://104.197.103.250:8080/ConsumeCPU.
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
300 millicores will be consumed for 600 seconds.
|
||||
|
||||
## Image
|
||||
|
||||
Docker image of Resource Consumer can be found in Google Container Registry as gcr.io/google_containers/resource_consumer:beta
|
||||
|
||||
## Use cases
|
||||
|
||||
###Cluster size autoscaling
|
||||
1. Consume more resources on each node that is specified for autoscaler
|
||||
2. Observe that cluster size increased
|
||||
|
||||
###Horizontal autoscaling of pod
|
||||
1. Create consuming RC and start consuming appropriate amount of resources
|
||||
2. Observe that RC has been resized
|
||||
3. Observe that usage on each replica decreased
|
||||
|
||||
###Vertical autoscaling of pod
|
||||
1. Create consuming pod and start consuming appropriate amount of resources
|
||||
2. Observed that limits has been increased
