K-Bench: A Benchmark to Measure Kubernetes Control and Data Plane PerformanCategory: Redis, Kubernetes, nginx
Honeycomb is sponsoring The New Stack’s coverage of Kubecon+CloudNativeCon North America 2020. Naturally, the first thing anyone might want to do with a new cluster is to see how fast it can go.
Now, K-Bench, a project from the VMware Tanzu team, provides a framework for benchmarking Kubernetes performance, as well as the applications that run on top of K8s, aka testing the responsiveness of the control plane and the data plane for a Kubernetes deployment. Karthik Ganesan, Staff Performance Engineer at VMware R&D, described the technology at KubeCon+CloudNativeCon this week, along with Facebook Engineer Yong Li.
The K-Bench package includes a copy of Redis Lab’s memtier benchmark to test such as CPU and memory usage.
