We want to test the behaviors/limits of the nging-ingress-controller:

• identify a load generator tool (e.g., boom)
• Measure latency and throughput to services inside kubernetes
• Test large file upload/download
• Test number of concurrent connections
• Test scaling a service (e.g., webservers) by increasing the number of replicas and deploying multiples of the same service
• Resilience to failure (killing the load balancer)

Artifacts:

• Report results (graphs), new JIRA tickets as needed; documentation of process; associated scripts/yaml files.
