## Documentation

Documentation is [available here](https://kube-burner.github.io/kube-burner-ocp/)

## Quick start

Install latest stable version with:

```shell
curl -Ls https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kube-burner/kube-burner-ocp/refs/heads/main/hack/install.sh | sh
```

> [!NOTE]
> Default installation path is `${HOME}/.local/bin/`, you can change it by setting `INSTALL_DIR` environment variable
> before running the script

## Usage

Some of the benefits the OCP wrapper provides are:

- Simplified execution of the supported workloads. (Only some flags are required)
- Adds OpenShift metadata to generated jobSummary and a small subset of metadata fields to the remaining metrics.
- Prevents modifying configuration files to tweak some of the parameters of the workloads.
- Discovers the OpenShift Prometheus URL and authentication token, or accepts an explicit Prometheus endpoint for environments where discovery is not available.
- Workloads configuration is directly embedded in the binary.

Running node-density with 100 pods per node

```console
kube-burner-ocp node-density --pods-per-node=100
```

With the command above, the wrapper will calculate the required number of pods to deploy across all worker nodes of the cluster.

### Workload Flags Metadata

All workload-specific flags (local flags defined on each workload command) are automatically captured and added to the `SummaryMetadata` in the `workloadFlags` field. This allows you to track exactly which flags were used when running a workload, making it easier to correlate performance results with specific configurations.

The flags are stored as a map where:

- Keys are flag names converted from kebab-case to camelCase (e.g., `pods-per-node` becomes `podsPerNode`)
- Values are the flag values as strings

For example, when running:

```console
kube-burner-ocp node-density --pods-per-node=100 --churn-cycles=5 --churn-percent=10
```

The `jobSummary` document will include:

```json
{
  "workloadFlags": {
    "podsPerNode": "100",
    "churnCycles": "5",
    "churnPercent": "10",
    ...
  }
}
```

This metadata can be used for filtering and analysis in your metrics backend.

!!! Note
    Only local flags specific to each workload are captured. Persistent flags from the parent command (such as `--uuid`, `--qps`, `--burst`, etc.) are not included in `workloadFlags` to avoid duplication..

## Multiple endpoints support

The flag `--metrics-endpoint` can be used to interact with multiple Prometheus endpoints
For example:

```console
kube-burner-ocp cluster-density-v2 --iterations=1 --churn-duration=2m0s --churn-cycles=2 --es-index kube-burner --es-server https://www.esurl.com:443 --metrics-endpoint metrics-endpoints.yaml
```

### metrics-endpoints.yaml

```yaml
- endpoint: prometheus-k8s-openshift-monitoring.apps.rook.devshift.org
  metrics:
    - metrics.yml
  alerts:
    - alerts.yml
  indexer:
      esServers: ["{{.ES_SERVER}}"]
      insecureSkipVerify: true
      defaultIndex: {{.ES_INDEX}}
      type: opensearch
- endpoint: https://prometheus-k8s-openshift-monitoring.apps.rook.devshift.org
  token: {{ .TOKEN }}
  metrics:
    - metrics.yml
  indexer:
      esServers: ["{{.ES_SERVER}}"]
      insecureSkipVerify: true
      defaultIndex: {{.ES_INDEX}}
      type: opensearch
```

`.TOKEN` can be captured by running `TOKEN=$(oc create token -n openshift-monitoring prometheus-k8s)`

!!! Note

Avoid passing absolute path of the file with --metrics-endpoint option

Metric profile names specified against `metrics` key should be unique and shouldn't overlap with the existing ones. A metric profile will be looked up in this directory [config](https://github.com/kube-burner/kube-burner-ocp/tree/main/cmd/config) first for the sake of simplicity and if it doesn't exist, will fallback to our specified path. So in order for our own metric profile to get picked up, we will need to specify its absolute path or name differently whenever there is an overlap with the existing ones.

## Cluster density workloads

This workload family is a control-plane density focused workload that that creates different objects across the cluster. There are 2 different variants [cluster-density-v2](#cluster-density-v2) and [cluster-density-ms](#cluster-density-ms).

Each iteration of these create a new namespace, the three support similar configuration flags. Check them out from the subcommand help.

!!! Info
    Workload churning of 1h is enabled by default in the `cluster-density` workloads; you can disable it by passing `--churn-duration=0` to the workload subcommand.

### cluster-density-v2

Each iteration creates the following objects in each of the created namespaces:

- 1 image stream.
- 1 build. The OCP internal container registry must be set-up previously because the resulting container image will be pushed there.
- 3 deployments with two pod 2 replicas (nginx) mounting 4 secrets, 4 config maps, and 1 downward API volume each.
- 2 deployments with two pod 2 replicas (curl) mounting 4 Secrets, 4 config maps and 1 downward API volume each. These pods have configured a readiness probe that makes a request to one of the services and one of the routes created by this workload every 10 seconds.
- 5 services, each one pointing to the TCP/8080 port of one of the nginx deployments.
- 2 edge routes pointing to the to first and second services respectively.
- 10 secrets containing a 2048-character random string.
- 10 config maps containing a 2048-character random string.
- 3 network policies:
    - deny-all traffic
    - allow traffic from client/nginx pods to server/nginx pods
    - allow traffic from openshift-ingress namespace (where routers are deployed by default) to the namespace

### cluster-density-ms

Lightest version of this workload family, each iteration the following objects in each of the created namespaces:

- 1 image stream.
- 4 deployments with two pod replicas (pause) mounting 4 secrets, 4 config maps, and 1 downward API volume each.
- 2 services, each one pointing to the TCP/8080 and TCP/8443 ports of the first and second deployment respectively.
- 1 edge route pointing to the to first service.
- 20 secrets containing a 2048-character random string.
- 10 config maps containing a 2048-character random string.

## Etcd density workloads

The `etcd-density` command groups four workload variants that stress the etcd database under different pressure patterns. Each variant targets a specific failure mode relevant to etcd sharding validation: event volume, crash-driven churn, storage quota exhaustion, and revision bloat.

All variants default to the `etcd-density-metrics.yml` metrics profile, which collects etcd DB size, WAL fsync latency, backend commit duration, raft proposal rates, event throughput, API server latency, and control-plane resource consumption.

### event-storm

Fires a synthetic event storm in the background while deploying a victim workload. Measures how sustained event write pressure degrades pod scheduling and readiness latency.

The storm runs in namespace `etcd-event-storm` using a hook script that creates events concurrently before the victim workload starts. After the victim workload completes, the storm namespace is cleaned up.

| Flag                    | Description                                               | Default                        |
| ----------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------ |
| `--iterations`          | Victim workload iterations                                | `100`                          |
| `--pod-ready-threshold` | Pod ready timeout threshold                               | `0` (disabled)                 |
| `--deletion-strategy`   | Deletion strategy                                         | `default`                      |
| `--metrics-profile`     | Comma separated list of metrics profiles                  | `etcd-density-metrics.yml`     |
| `--event-iterations`    | Event creation iterations for the background storm        | `2000`                         |
| `--event-replicas`      | Event replicas per iteration                              | `100`                          |
| `--storm-workers`       | Parallel workers for event creation                       | `20`                           |
| `--storm-delay`         | Seconds to let the storm build pressure before victim     | `15`                           |
| `--pod-replicas`        | Pod replicas per victim deployment                        | `3`                            |

```console
kube-burner-ocp etcd-density event-storm --iterations=100 --event-iterations=2000 \
  --event-replicas=100 --storm-workers=20 --storm-delay=15 --pod-replicas=3 \
  --local-indexing
```

### crashloop-flood

Creates pods that immediately exit with an error, causing continuous CrashLoopBackOff restarts. The sustained event churn from repeated container crashes pressures etcd event storage and API server watch caches.

After pod creation, the workload soaks for a configurable duration to let event pressure accumulate before collecting metrics.

| Flag                    | Description                                               | Default                        |
| ----------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------ |
| `--iterations`          | Number of namespaces to create crashlooping pods in       | `20`                           |

| `--deletion-strategy`   | Deletion strategy                                         | `default`                      |
| `--metrics-profile`     | Comma separated list of metrics profiles                  | `etcd-density-metrics.yml`     |
| `--crashloop-replicas`  | Crashlooping pods per iteration                           | `100`                          |
| `--soak-duration`       | Soak duration for event accumulation after pod creation   | `30m`                          |

```console
kube-burner-ocp etcd-density crashloop-flood --iterations=20 \
  --crashloop-replicas=100 --soak-duration=30m \
  --local-indexing
```

### db-quota-pressure

Fills etcd with large custom resource objects to stress storage quotas. Creates CRDs first, then fills namespaces with custom resource instances. Objects are intentionally not cleaned up (`cleanup: false`) to preserve the database size for analysis.

**Database size calculation:** `iterations x kb-chunks x kb-size`

| `iterations` | `kb-chunks` | `kb-size` | Total DB size | `iterations-per-namespace` |
| ------------ | ----------- | --------- | ------------- | -------------------------- |
| 6,551        | 8           | 100       | ~5GB          | 936                        |
| 14,925       | 18          | 100       | ~27GB         | 415                        |
| 11,194       | 16          | 100       | ~18GB         | 468                        |
| 36,841       | 16          | 10        | ~6GB          | 4,605                      |

| Flag                         | Description                                                   | Default                        |
| ---------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------ |
| `--iterations`               | Number of object iterations for the db-quota-pressure job     | `6551`                         |
| `--iterations-per-namespace` | Number of iterations per namespace                            | `936`                          |
| `--metrics-profile`          | Comma separated list of metrics profiles                      | `etcd-density-metrics.yml`     |
| `--kb-chunks`                | Number of CRDs to create and object replicas per iteration    | `8`                            |
| `--kb-size`                  | Size of each object in KB (10 or 100)                         | `100`                          |

```console
kube-burner-ocp etcd-density db-quota-pressure --iterations=6551 \
  --iterations-per-namespace=936 --kb-chunks=8 --kb-size=100 \
  --gc=false --gc-metrics=false \
  --local-indexing
```

### annotation-churn

Creates ConfigMaps and then rapidly patches their annotations in multiple rounds, generating etcd revision bloat from high-frequency small writes. Measures compaction and defragmentation behavior under write-amplification pressure.

| Flag                    | Description                                               | Default                        |

| `--deletion-strategy`   | Deletion strategy                                         | `default`                      |
| `--metrics-profile`     | Comma separated list of metrics profiles                  | `etcd-density-metrics.yml`     |
| `--patch-replicas`      | Target ConfigMaps per iteration                           | `50`                           |
| `--patch-rounds`        | Number of patch rounds across all targets                 | `10`                           |

```console
kube-burner-ocp etcd-density annotation-churn --iterations=10 \
  --patch-replicas=50 --patch-rounds=10 \
  --local-indexing
```

!!! Note
    These workloads require OpenShift clusters with sufficiently large control plane nodes (m6a.4xlarge or r6a.4xlarge minimum) for meaningful pressure testing.

### MicroShift

`kube-burner-ocp` detects MicroShift through cluster metadata and can run `cluster-density-ms` against clusters that expose the required Kubernetes APIs. On MicroShift, the wrapper skips OpenShift ClusterOperator health checks and uses the vanilla Kubernetes health checks.

Use an external Prometheus that scrapes MicroShift directly. OpenShift Prometheus discovery is not available on MicroShift, so metrics collection with the normal wrapper indexing flags requires `--prometheus-url`. Use `--prometheus-token` when that endpoint requires a bearer token.

The `microshift-metrics.yml` profile expects kubelet metrics with `job="kubelet-microshift"`, cAdvisor metrics with `job="kubelet-microshift-cadvisor"`, node exporter with `job="node"`, CRI-O with `job="crio"`, and named-process-exporter with `job="process"`.

Run a small workload with OpenSearch indexing:

```console
kube-burner-ocp cluster-density-ms \
  --iterations=1 \
  --metrics-profile=microshift-metrics.yml \
  --prometheus-url=http://prometheus.example:9090 \
  --es-server=https://opensearch.example:9200 \
  --es-index=kube-burner \
  --alerting=false
```

The `--metrics-endpoint` flag remains available for advanced cases where the full Prometheus endpoint and indexer configuration are supplied in a separate file.

The `index` subcommand also honors `--prometheus-url` and `--prometheus-token` when scraping an existing MicroShift run.

Summary metadata keeps the existing top-level OpenShift wrapper shape. Metrics documents keep metadata under their nested `metadata` field and include `distribution`, `microshift`, `microshiftVersion`, `microshiftMajorVersion`, `k8sVersion`, and `totalNodes` when those values are discovered.

`cluster-density-ms` renders optional OpenShift objects only when the APIs are served: `imagestream.yml` requires `image.openshift.io`, and `route.yml` requires `route.openshift.io`. `cluster-density-v2` remains an OpenShift workload and still requires the full OpenShift image registry path.

## Node density workloads

The workloads of this family create a single namespace with a set of pods, deployments, and services depending on the workload.

### node-density

This workload is meant to fill with pause pods all the worker nodes from the cluster. It can be customized with the following flags. This workload is usually used to measure the Pod's ready latency KPI.

### node-density-cni

It creates two deployments, a client/curl and a server/nxing, and 1 service backed by the previous server pods. The client application has configured an startup probe that makes requests to the previous service every second with a timeout of 600s.

Note: This workload calculates the number of iterations to create from the number of nodes and desired pods per node.  In order to keep the test scalable and performant, chunks of 1000 iterations will by broken into separate namespaces, using the config variable `iterationsPerNamespace`.

### node-density-cni with SRIOV VFs

It creates two deployments, a client/curl and a server/nxing, and 1 service backed by the previous server pods along with secondary network interfaces with SRIOV VFs. The client application has configured an startup probe that makes requests to the previous service every second with a timeout of 600s.

#### Pre-requisites for running with SRIOV VFs
- Cluster should be installed with DAY-2 SRIOV Operator
- If User want to run workload with Performance profile, It should be created.
- Below SRIOV-network should be created before running the workload

### node-density-heavy

Creates two deployments, a postgresql database, and a simple client that performs periodic insert queries (configured through liveness and readiness probes) on the previous database and a service that is used by the client to reach the database.

Note: this workload calculates the number of iterations to create from the number of nodes and desired pods per node.  In order to keep the test scalable and performant, chunks of 1000 iterations will by broken into separate namespaces, using the config variable `iterationsPerNamespace`.

### node-scale

Leverages [Kubemark](https://github.com/kubernetes/community/blob/master/contributors/devel/sig-scalability/kubemark-guide.md) to create a number of hollow nodes and allow to run experiments on simulated clusters. The primary use case is scalability testing, as simulated clusters can be much bigger than the real ones. The objective is to expose problems with the master components (API server, controller manager or scheduler) that appear only on bigger clusters (e.g. small memory leaks).

### udn-density-l3-pods

For User-Defined Network (UDN) L3 segmentation testing. It creates two deployments, a client/curl and a server/nxing.

### anp-density-pods

For AdminNetworkPolicy testing. It creates three deployments in each namespace, three namespaces as a tenant, it will create 1 BaselineAdminNetworkPolicy, 1 NodeSelector AdminNetworkPolicy, 7 PodSelector AdminNetworkPolicy, N - CIDR Selector AdminNetworkPolicy.

## Network Policy workloads

Network policy scale testing tooling involved  2 components:
1. Template to include all network policy configuration options
2. Latency measurement through connection testing

A network policy defines the rules for ingress and egress traffic between pods in  local and remote namespaces. These remote namespace addresses can be configured using a combination of namespace and pod selectors, CIDRs, ports, and port ranges. Given that network policies offer a wide variety of configuration options, we developed a unified template that incorporates all these configuration parameters. Users can specify the desired count for each option.

```console
spec:
  podSelector:
    matchExpressions:
    - key: num
      operator: In
      values:
      - "1"
      - "2"
  ingress:
  - from:
    - namespaceSelector:
        matchExpressions:
        - key: kubernetes.io/metadata.name
          operator: In
          values:
          - network-policy-perf-13
          - network-policy-perf-14
      podSelector:
       matchExpressions:
       - key: num
         operator: In
         values:
         - "1"
         - "2"
    ports:
    - port: 8080
      protocol: TCP

```

### Scale Testing and Unique ACL Flows
In our scale tests, we aim to create between 10 to 100 network policies within a single namespace. The primary focus is on preventing duplicate configuration options, which ensures that each network policy generates unique Access Control List (ACL) flows. To achieve this, we carefully designed our templating approach based on the following considerations:

**Round-Robin Assignment:** We use a round-robin strategy to distribute
1. remote namespaces among ingress and egress rules across kube burner job iterations
2. remote namespaces among ingress and egress rules in the same kube burner job iteration

This ensures that we don’t overuse the same remote namespaces in a single iteration or among multiple iterations. For instance, if namespace-1 uses namespace-2 and namespace-3 as its remote namespaces, then namespace-2 will start using namespace-4 and namespace-5 as remote namespaces in the next iteration.

**Unique Namespace and Pod Combinations:** To avoid redundant flows, the templating system generates unique combinations of remote namespaces and pods for each network policy. Initially, we iterate through the list of remote namespaces, and once all remote namespaces are exhausted, we move on to iterate through the remote pods. This method ensures that every network policy within a namespace is assigned a distinct combination of remote namespaces and remote pods, avoiding duplicate pairs.

**Templating Logic**
Our templating logic is implemented as follows:
``` console
// Iterate over the list of namespaces to configure network policies.
for namespace := namespaces {

// Each network policy uses a combination of a remote namespace and a remote pod to allow traffic.
  for networkPolicy := networkPolicies {

/*
    Iterate through the list of remote pods. Once all remote namespaces are exhausted,
    continue iterating through the remote pods to ensure unique namespace/pod combinations.
    */
    for i, remotePod := range remotePods {
        // Stop when we reach the maximum number of remote pods allowed.
        if i == num_remote_pods {
            break
        }

// Iterate through the list of remote namespaces to pair with the remote pod.
        for idx, remoteNamespace := range remoteNamespaces {
            // Combine the remote namespace and pod into a unique pair for ACL configuration.
            combine := fmt.Sprintf("%s:%s", remoteNamespace, remotePod)

// Stop iterating once we’ve exhausted the allowed number of remote namespaces.
            if idx == num_remote_namespace {
                break
            }
        }
    }
  }
}

```

**CIDRs and Port Ranges**
We apply the same round-robin and unique combination logic to CIDRs and port ranges, ensuring that these options are not reused in network policies within the same namespace.

**Connection Testing Support**
kube-burner measures network policy latency through connection testing. Currently, all pods are configured to listen on port 8080. As a result, client pods will send requests to port 8080 during testing.

Note: Egress rules should not be enabled for network policy latency measurement connection testing.

## EgressIP workloads

This workload creates an egress IP for the client pods. SDN (OVN) will use egress IP for the traffic from client pods to external server instead of default node IP.

Each iteration creates the following objects in each of the created namespaces:

- 1 deployment with the configured number of client pod replicas. Client pod runs the quay.io/cloud-bulldozer/eipvalidator app which periodically sends http request to the configured "EXT_SERVER_HOST" server at an "DELAY_BETWEEN_REQ_SEC" interval with a request timeout of "REQ_TIMEOUT_SEC" seconds. Client pod then validates if the body of the response has configured "EGRESS_IPS". Once the client pod starts running and after receiving first successful response with configured "EGRESS_IPS", it sets "eip_startup_latency_total" prometheus metric.
- 1 EgressIP object. EgressIP object is cluster scoped. EgressIP object will have number of egress IP addresses which user specified through "addresses-per-iteration" cli option. kube-burner generates these addresses for the egressIP object from the egress IP list provided by kube-burner-ocp. OVN applies egressIPs to the pods in the current job iteration because of "namespaceSelector" and "podSelector" fields in the egressIP object.

Note: User has to manually create the external server or use the e2e-benchmarking(https://github.com/cloud-bulldozer/e2e-benchmarking/tree/master/workloads/kube-burner-ocp-wrapper#egressip) which deploys external server and runs the workload with required configuration.

Running 1 iteration with 1 egress IP address per iteration (or egressIP object).

```console
kube-burner-ocp egressip --addresses-per-iteration=1 --iterations=1 --external-server-ip=10.0.34.43
```

With the command above, each namespace has one pod with a dedicated egress IP. OVN will use this dedicated egress IP for the http requests from client pod's to 10.0.34.43.

## Web-burner workloads

## Core RDS workloads

The telco core reference design specification (RDS) describes OpenShift Container Platform clusters running on commodity hardware that can support large scale telco applications including control plane and some centralized data plane functions. It captures the recommended, tested, and supported configurations to get reliable and repeatable performance for clusters running the telco core profile.

Pre-requisites:

      defaultHugepagesSize: 1G
      pages:
      - count: 160
        node: 0

## Virt Workloads

This workload family is a focused on Virtualization creating different objects across the cluster.

The different variants are:

- [virt-density](#virt-density)
- [virt-udn-density](#virt-density-udn)
- [virt-capacity-benchmark](#virt-capacity-benchmark)
- [virt-parallel](#virt-parallel)
- [virt-clone](#virt-clone)
- [virt-clone-multi](#virt-clone-multi)
- [virt-ephemeral-restart](#virt-ephemeral-restart)
- [virt-migration](#virt-migration)

### Environment Requirements

#### Virtctl

The tests listed below verify that the `VirtualMachine` completed their boot using `virtctl ssh`.
Therefore, `virtctl` must be installed and available in the `PATH`.

- [virt-capacity-benchmark](#virt-capacity-benchmark).
- [virt-parallel](#virt-parallel)
- [virt-clone](#virt-clone)
- [virt-clone-multi](#virt-clone-multi)
- [virt-ephemeral-restart](#virt-ephemeral-restart)
- [virt-migration](#virt-migration)

See the [Temporary SSH Keys](#temporary-ssh-keys) for details on the SSH keys used for the test

#### Temporary SSH Keys

The test generated the SSH keys automatically.
By default, it stores the pair in a temporary directory.
Users may choose the store the key in a specified directory by setting `--ssh-key-path`

### Virt Density

Similar to node-density, fills with VirtualMachines the worker nodes of the cluster (**kubevirt/OpenShift Virtualization is required** to run this workload). Meant to detect issues derived from spinning up high amounts VMs in a short amount of time and to track runningthe latencies of the different VM bootstrap stages.

### Virt Density Udn

Similar to udn-density-pods scenario. Creates VMs, one Nginx server and several clients (the number depends on the `vms-per-node` variable) reaching it, on the same UDN per iteration. Each UDN-namespace has the same number of VMs, the number of clients deployed per UDN is computed as following:
```Nb of client per UDN = (Nb of worker * vms-per-node / Nb of UDN) -1 //-1  because the server is always deployed.```
This scenario is meant to test how many UDNs can be deployed in parallel and how it scales. It requires a version of OCP higher than 4.18, otherwise, UDN feature is not available.

### Virt C-UDN Density

In order to be able to compare *UserDefinedNetwork (UDN)* and *ClusterUserDefinedNetwork (CUDN)* performance, this scenario uses the same logic than the previous one.
It deploys VMs, one Nginx server and several clients into namespaces, the number of namespaces is the number of iterations. For each namespace, there is one C-UDN associated to it one to be close to the virt UDN density scenario.

### Virt Capacity Benchmark

Test the capacity of Virtual Machines and Volumes supported by the cluster and a specific storage class.

#### Test Sequence

The test runs a workload in a loop without deleting previously created resources. By default it will continue until a failure occurs.
Each loop is comprised of the following steps:

- Create VMs
- Resize the root and data volumes
- Restart the VMs
- Snapshot the VMs
- Migrate the VMs

#### Tested StorageClass

By default, the test will search for the `StorageClass` to use:

1. Use the default `StorageClass` for Virtualization annotated with `storageclass.kubevirt.io/is-default-virt-class`
2. If does not exist, use general default `StorageClass` annotated with `storageclass.kubernetes.io/is-default-class`
3. If does not exist, fail the test before starting

To use a different one, use `--storage-class` to provide a different name.

In addition, multiple `StorageClasses` can be used by passing a comma separated list names.
The test will then choose a different `StorageClass` for each loop in round robin.

Please note that regardless to which `StorageClass` is used, it must:

- Support Volume Expansion: `allowVolumeExpansion: true`.
- Have a corresponding `VolumeSnapshotClass` using the same provisioner

#### Test Namespace

All `VirtualMachines` are created in the same namespace.

By default, the namespace is `virt-capacity-benchmark`. Set it by passing `--namespace` (or `-n`)

#### Test Size Parameters

Users may control the workload sizes by passing the following arguments:

- `--max-iterations` - Maximum number of iterations, or 0 (default) for infinite. In any case, the test will stop upon failure
- `--vms` - Number of VMs for each iteration (default 5)
- `--data-volume-count` - Number of data volumes for each VM (default 9)
- `--min-vol-size` - Set the minimal volume size supported by the storage class
- `--min-vol-inc-size` - Set the minimal volume size increment supported by the storage class

#### Skip test parts

Some storage classes have limitations requiring the test to skip some parts:

- `--skip-resize-job` - Skip volume resize job. Use when e.g. `allowVolumeExpansion` is `false`
- `--skip-migration-job` - Skip the migration job. Use when e.g. `RWX` `accessMode` is not supported

#### Cleanup

Since the test is expected to run until failure, it is designed to keep all allocated resources to allow investigating the failure.
To cleanup all allocated resources once the test is done set `--cleanup`.
Alternatively, run the test with only the `--cleanup-only` flag set to cleanup resources from past test runs

### Virt Parallel

Test the parallel execution of virtualization workloads across increasing numbers of VMs. This workload progressively increases the VM count across iterations, performing a complete lifecycle of operations on each set of VMs before deletion.

#### Test Sequence

The test runs in a loop without preserving resources between iterations. Each iteration performs the following sequence:

- Create N VMs with multiple data volumes and verify network connectivity to all VMs
- Resize the root and data volumes of all VMs (optional, can be skipped with `--skip-resize-job`)
- Restart the VMs to apply volume changes (optional, can be skipped with `--skip-restart-job`)
- Snapshot all VMs (optional, can be skipped with `--skip-snapshot-job`)
- Randomly select a worker node and migrate all VMs running on that node (optional, can be skipped with `--skip-migration-job`)
- Delete all VMs and clean up resources
- Increment N by the configured amount (`--increment`) and repeat

Note: The only mandatory steps are VM creation and deletion. All other steps can be skipped based on storage class capabilities or test requirements.

#### Tested StorageClass

By default, the test will search for the `StorageClass` to use:

To use a different one, use `--storage-class` to provide a different name.

In addition, multiple `StorageClasses` can be used by passing a comma separated list names.
The test will then choose a different `StorageClass` for each loop in round robin.

Please note that regardless to which `StorageClass` is used, it must:

- Support Volume Expansion: `allowVolumeExpansion: true`
- Have a corresponding `VolumeSnapshotClass` using the same provisioner

#### Test Namespace

All `VirtualMachines` are created in the same namespace.

By default, the namespace is `virt-parallel`. Set it by passing `--namespace` (or `-n`)

#### Test Size Parameters

Users may control the workload sizes by passing the following arguments:

- `--max-iterations` - Maximum number of iterations, or 0 (default) for infinite. In any case, the test will stop upon failure
- `--initial-vms` - Number of VMs to create in the first iteration (default 5)
- `--increment` - Number of additional VMs to add in each subsequent iteration (default 5)
- `--data-volume-count` - Number of data volumes per VM (default 9)
- `--min-vol-size` - Set the minimal volume size supported by the storage class
- `--min-vol-inc-size` - Set the minimal volume size increment supported by the storage class

#### Skip test parts

Some storage classes have limitations requiring the test to skip some parts. All steps except VM creation and deletion can be skipped:

- `--skip-resize-job` - Skip volume resize job. Use when e.g. `allowVolumeExpansion` is `false`
- `--skip-restart-job` - Skip the VM restart job. Use when you want to test without VM restarts
- `--skip-snapshot-job` - Skip the VM snapshot job. Use when snapshots are not supported or not needed
- `--skip-migration-job` - Skip the migration job. Use when e.g. `RWX` `accessMode` is not supported

#### Cleanup

### Virt Clone

Test the capacity and performance of starting multiple virtual machines with a root disk as clones of a single volume. This test comes to mimic VDI sequence

#### Test Sequence

The test runs the following sequence:
1. Create a `VirtualMachine` in namespace A
2. Stop the `VirtualMachine`
3. Create a `DataVolume` in namespace B using the rootdisk of the `VirtualMachine` as the source
4. If the `dataImportCronSourceFormat` field of the `StorageProfile` `status` is set to `snapshot`, or `--use-snapshot` is set to `true`, create a `VolumeSnapshot` of the DataVolume
5. Create a `DataSource`, setting the `source` field to either the `VolumeSnapshot` (if was created) or the `DataVolume`
6. Create `VirtualMachines` in namespace B based in the `DataSource`

#### Tested StorageClass

By default, the test will use the default `StorageClass`. To use a different one, use `--storage-class` to provide a different name.

If `--use-snapshot` is explicitly set to `true` a corresponding `VolumeSnapshotClass` using the same provisioner must exist.
Otherwise, the test will check the `StorageProfile` for the `StorageClass` and act accordingly.

#### Test Namespace

The test creates `VirtualMachines` in two namespaces: `<baseName>-base` and `<baseName>-clones`

By default, the `baseName` is `virt-clone`. Set it by passing `--namespace` (or `-n`)

#### Test Size Parameters

Users may control the workload sizes by passing the following arguments:
- `--iteration` - Number of iterations to run in step 6. Default is 1
- `--iteration-clones` - Number of `VirtualMachines` to create in each iteration of step 6. Default is 10
- `--data-volume-count` - Number of empty data volumes for each cloned `VirtualMachine`. Default is 0

#### Verification of cloned `VirtualMachines` creation

By default, the test waits for all `VirtualMachines` created in an iteration to reach the `Ready` condition.
Users may configure the test to run differently.

- `--verify-each-iteration` - Whether the test should verify the cloned `VirtualMachines` on each iteration. Default `true`. If set to `false` verification will be postpone to the end of the job
- `--job-iteration-delay` - Time in `Duration` for the test to wait between iterations. Default is `0`
- `--verify-max-wait-time` - Time in `Duration` to wait for `VirtualMachines` to become ready either for each iteration or at the end.

For example, to change the test to wait for a minute between iterations instead of the `VirtualMachines` to become `Ready` set: `--verify-each-iteration=false --job-iteration-delay=1m`

#### Volume Access Mode

By default, volumes are created with `ReadWriteMany` access mode as this is the recommended configuration for `VirtualMachines`.
If not supported, the access mode may be changes by setting `--access-mode`. The supported values are `RO`, `RWO` and `RWX`.

### Virt Clone Multi

Test high-scale VM cloning by deploying VMs across multiple namespaces with independent base images. This is a scalable version of the `virt-clone` workload, where each namespace has its own master image for cloning. The workload validates storage backend capacity, CDI (Containerized Data Importer) performance, and VM cloning efficiency at scale.

#### Key Differentiators from virt-clone

- **Multi-namespace architecture**: Each test namespace maintains its own master image (DataVolume/VolumeSnapshot/DataSource)
- **Namespace isolation**: Clones within a namespace are created from that namespace's master image, not a centralized source

#### Test Sequence

The test follows this workflow:

1. **Create base VMs**: Create N base VMs in a base namespace from a container disk
2. **Stop base VMs**: Stop all base VMs to ensure data consistency
3. **Create test DataSources** (per namespace, in parallel):
   - Create a `DataVolume` from the corresponding base VM's PVC
   - Optionally create a `VolumeSnapshot` of the DataVolume (if `--use-snapshot=true`)
   - Create a `DataSource` pointing to either the snapshot or the DataVolume
4. **Clone VMs** (per namespace, in batches):
   - Create VMs in iterations, cloning from the namespace's DataSource
   - Each VM optionally includes additional blank data volumes (controlled by `--data-volume-count`)

#### Tested StorageClass

By default, the test will search for the `StorageClass` to use:

To use a different one, use `--storage-class` to provide a different name.

If `--use-snapshot` is set to `true` (default), a corresponding `VolumeSnapshotClass` using the same provisioner must exist.
If `--use-snapshot=false`, the test will clone directly from the PVC without creating snapshots.

#### Test Namespaces

Resources are distributed across multiple namespaces for scale testing.

By default, namespaces follow the pattern `virt-clone-multi-0`, `virt-clone-multi-1`, etc. Set the base name by passing `--namespace` (or `-n`)

#### Test Size Parameters

Users may control the workload scale by passing the following arguments:

- `--namespaces` - Number of test namespaces to create (default: 2)
- `--iterations` - Number of batches per namespace (default: 5)
- `--vms-per-iteration` - Number of VMs created per batch (default: 2)
- `--data-volume-count` - Number of additional blank data volumes per VM (default: 0)

**Total VMs** = `namespaces × iterations × vms-per-iteration`

**Total PVCs** = `Total VMs × (1 + data-volume-count)` (1 root PVC + N data volumes per VM)

#### Batching Control

- `--job-iteration-delay` - Delay between iterations within a namespace (default: 1m)

Namespaces are processed in parallel. Within each namespace, VMs are created in batches (iterations) with the specified delay between batches.

#### Volume Access Mode

By default, volumes are created with `ReadWriteMany` access mode. Since this workload does not perform migrations, `ReadWriteOnce` can be used for storage classes that don't support RWX.

The access mode can be changed by setting `--access-mode`. The supported values are `RO`, `RWO` and `RWX`.

#### Cleanup

To cleanup all allocated resources once the test is done set `--cleanup`.
Alternatively, run the test with only the `--cleanup-only` flag set to cleanup resources from past test runs.

### Virt Ephemeral Restart

Test the performance of restarting ephemeral `VirtualMachine`s. Kubernetes native ephemeral volumes use local node storage. As a result, they cannot be used on large scale deployment.
Instead, a restart is implemented by stopping the `VirtualMachine`, deleting the `DataVolume` backing its root volume and starting it.

#### Test Sequence

The test runs the following sequence:
1. Create a `DataVolume` using a container image as the source
2. If the `dataImportCronSourceFormat` field of the `StorageProfile` `status` is set to `snapshot`, or `--use-snapshot` is set to `true`, create a `VolumeSnapshot` of the DataVolume
3. Create a `DataSource`, setting the `source` field to either the `VolumeSnapshot` (if was created) or the `DataVolume`
4. Create `VirtualMachine`s based in the `DataSource`
5. Stop all `VirtualMachine`s
6. In batches, delete the `DataVolume` backing the root disk and start the `VirtualMachine`s

#### Tested StorageClass

By default, the test will use the default `StorageClass`. To use a different one, use `--storage-class` to provide a different name.

#### Test Namespace

All `VirtualMachines` are created in the same namespace.

By default, the namespace is `virt-ephemeral-restart`. Set it by passing `--namespace` (or `-n`)

#### Test Size Parameters

Users may control the workload sizes by passing the following arguments:
- `--iteration-vms` - Number of `VirtualMachines` to batch in each group in step 6
- `--iteration` - Number of batches to run in step 6

!!! Note

The total number of `VirtualMachines` created is `--iteration-vms` * `--iteration`

#### Volume Access Mode

### Virt Migration

Test how the cluster and the storage backend handles mass migration of VMs

#### Test Sequence

The test runs the following sequence:
1. Create `VirtualMachines` with a node affinity rule that ties them to a specific worker node
2. Remove the node affinity rule to allow them to migrate
3. Call `Migrate` on all `VirtualMachines`

#### Tested StorageClass

If not `--storage-class` is not set, the test will:

#### Test Size Parameters

Users may control the workload sizes by passing the following arguments:
- `--iterations` - How many iterations to use when creating `VirtualMachines` in step 1
- `--iteration-vms` - How many `VirtualMachines` to create in each iteration in step 1
- `--data-volume-count` - Number of data volumes for each VM

!!! Note

The total number of `VirtualMachines` created is `--iterations` * `--iteration-vms`

#### Addition `VirtualMachines` load

The test can create additional `VirtualMachines` that will not be migrated to simulate load on the other nodes as well.
By default, no additional `VirtualMachines` are created.

Set the following arguments to create load `VirtualMachines`:
- `--load-iterations` - Number of iterations to create load VMs
- `--load-per-iteration` - Number of VMs to create in each load VM iteration

!!! Note

The total number of load `VirtualMachines` created is `--load-vms-iterations` * `--iteration-load-vms`

#### Limiting migration requests load

By default, the test will be limited to 20 concurrent migrate request calls.
Users can set a different value by passing `--migration-qps`.

!!! Note

This parameter limits the concurrent migration requests, not actual concurrent migrations

#### Initial Worker Node

The worker node on which all VMs are scheduled and migrated from can be set by passing the `--worker-node` parameter.

If not set, the test will randomly choose one

#### Test Namespace

All `VirtualMachines` are created in the same namespace.

By default, the namespace is `virt-migation`. Set it by passing `--namespace` (or `-n`)

### DataVolume Clone

Test the capacity and performance of creating multiple data volumes that are clones of a single data volume

#### Test Sequence

The test runs the following sequence:
1. Create a `DataVolume` based on a container disk image
2. If the `dataImportCronSourceFormat` field of the `StorageProfile` `status` is set to `snapshot`, or `--use-snapshot` is set to `true`, create a `VolumeSnapshot` of the DataVolume
3. Create a `DataSource`, setting the `source` field to either the `VolumeSnapshot` (if was created) or the `DataVolume`
4. Create `DataVolumes` based on the `DataSource`. The creation process is divided into iterations

#### Tested StorageClass

By default, the test will use the default `StorageClass`. To use a different one, use `--storage-class` to provide a different name.

#### Test Namespace

All the resources are created in the same namespace.

By default, the namespace is `dv-clone`. Set it by passing `--namespace` (or `-n`)

#### Test Container Disk Image

Users may set the container disk image used as a source to the base `DataVolume` using the `--container-disk` parameter.
When setting `--container-disk`, make sure that it can fit to the default Volume Size `1Gi` or set a new size by passing `--datavolume-size`.

If not passed, the test will use  `quay.io/yblum/tiny_image:latest` for the the container disk image.

#### Test Size Parameters

Users may control the workload sizes by passing the following arguments:
- `--iteration` - Number of iterations to run in step 4
- `--iteration-clones` - Number of `DataVolumes` to create in each iteration of step 4

#### Volume Access Mode

## EVPN Workload

This workload tests EVPN (Ethernet VPN) scenarios using Cluster User Defined Networks (CUDN). EVPN provides Layer 2 and Layer 3 VPN services over an IP/MPLS network, enabling efficient multi-tenant networking in OpenShift clusters.

### Scenarios

The EVPN workload supports three scenarios, each designed to test different network traffic patterns:

#### East-West Scenario (`--scenario east-west`)

Tests **pod-to-pod communication within the cluster** using EVPN Layer 2 networks.

- Creates webserver deployments and services within each CUDN namespace
- Creates curl client deployments that communicate with the webservers
- Configures EVPN with Layer 2 topology and `macVRF` with routeTarget
- Traffic flows between pods within the same CUDN network

**Use case**: Validate internal cluster networking performance and EVPN Layer 2 overlay functionality.

#### North-South Scenario (`--scenario north-south`)

Tests **pod-to-external communication** using EVPN with both MAC and IP VRF.

- Creates only curl client deployments that communicate with an external webserver
- Configures EVPN with Layer 2 topology, `macVRF` and `ipVRF`
- Traffic flows from pods inside the cluster to an external endpoint
- Requires `--external-webserver-ip` and `--external-webserver-port` flags

**Use case**: Validate north-south traffic routing through EVPN with IP VRF for external connectivity.

#### North-South L3 Scenario (`--scenario north-south-l3`)

Tests **pod-to-external communication** using EVPN Layer 3 networks.

- Creates only curl client deployments that communicate with an external webserver
- Configures EVPN with Layer 3 topology and `ipVRF` only
- Traffic flows from pods inside the cluster to an external endpoint using Layer 3 routing
- Requires `--external-webserver-ip` and `--external-webserver-port` flags

**Use case**: Validate north-south traffic routing through EVPN Layer 3 networks for external connectivity.

### CUDN Configuration

All scenarios use a single unified `cudn.yml` template that dynamically generates the appropriate CUDN configuration based on the `--scenario` flag:

| Scenario | Network Topology | VRF Configuration | Use Case |
|----------|------------------|-------------------|----------|
| east-west | Layer2 | macVRF with routeTarget | Internal pod-to-pod traffic |
| north-south | Layer2 | macVRF + ipVRF | External traffic via L2 overlay |
| north-south-l3 | Layer3 | ipVRF only | External traffic via L3 routing |

The CUDN template uses Go template conditionals to generate scenario-specific configurations:

```yaml
network:
{{ if eq .scenario "north-south-l3" }}
    topology: Layer3
    layer3:
      role: Primary
      subnets:
        - cidr: <generated-cidr>
          hostSubnet: 24
    evpn:
      vtep: evpn-vtep
      ipVRF:
        vni: <l3vni>
{{ else if eq .scenario "north-south" }}
    topology: Layer2
    layer2:
      role: Primary
      subnets:
        - <generated-cidr>
    evpn:
      vtep: evpn-vtep
      macVRF:
        vni: <l2vni>
      ipVRF:
        vni: <l3vni>
{{ else }}  # east-west (default)
    topology: Layer2
    layer2:
      role: Primary
      subnets:
        - <generated-cidr>
    evpn:
      vtep: evpn-vtep
      macVRF:
        vni: <l2vni>
        routeTarget: "65000:<l2vni>"
{{ end }}
```

### Usage Examples

#### East-West Scenario (Internal Traffic)

```console
# Test internal pod-to-pod communication with 10 namespaces
kube-burner-ocp evpn --scenario east-west --iterations 10
```

#### North-South Scenario (External Traffic with L2+L3)

```console
# Test external connectivity - requires external webserver. "--create-ext-frr-vrf" runs the external webserver on the local host and does other necessary configuration
kube-burner-ocp evpn --scenario north-south \
  --create-ext-frr-vrf \
  --external-webserver-ip 172.27.187.82 \
  --external-webserver-port 80 \
  --iterations 10
```

#### North-South L3 Scenario (External Traffic with L3 only).

```console
# Test Layer 3 external connectivity. "--create-ext-frr-vrf" runs the external webserver on the local host and does other necessary configuration
kube-burner-ocp evpn --scenario north-south-l3 \
  --create-ext-frr-vrf \
  --external-webserver-ip 172.27.187.82 \
  --external-webserver-port 80 \
  --iterations 10
```

### Workload Jobs

The EVPN workload executes the following jobs in sequence:

1. **evpn-create-namespaces**: Creates namespaces with required labels for CUDN
2. **evpn-create-cudn**: Creates ClusterUserDefinedNetwork resources using the unified `cudn.yml` template
3. **evpn-route-advertisements**: Creates RouteAdvertisement resources for the CUDNs
4. **evpn-{scenario}**: Creates the workload pods (webserver + curl for east-west, or curl only for north-south)

### Template Files

The EVPN workload uses the following template files, optimized to minimize duplication:

| Template | Description |
|----------|-------------|
| `evpn.yml` | Main workload configuration with scenario-based conditionals |
| `cudn.yml` | Unified CUDN template supporting all three scenarios |
| `curl-deployment.yml` | Curl client deployment with configurable webserver target |
| `webserver-deployment.yml` | Webserver deployment (east-west only) |
| `webserver-service.yml` | Webserver service (east-west only) |
| `ra.yml` | RouteAdvertisement template |
| `configmap.yml` | ConfigMap for namespace initialization |
| `setup_external_frr_vrf.sh` | Script to setup external FRR VRF (used with `--create-ext-frr-vrf`) |
| `cleanup_external_frr_vrf.sh` | Script to cleanup external FRR VRF (used with `--create-ext-frr-vrf`) |

### External FRR VRF Setup

For north-south scenarios, you may need to set up an external FRR router with VRF configuration to simulate external connectivity. The `--create-ext-frr-vrf` flag automates this setup:

- **Setup** (`setup_external_frr_vrf.sh`): Runs before CUDN creation (`evpn-create-cudn` job)
  - Automatically detects the OCP node subnet (supports /8, /16, /24 and other CIDR masks)
  - Finds local IP on the same network as OCP nodes
  - Deploys FRR using the frr-k8s demo
  - Configures BGP EVPN with all cluster nodes
  - Creates VTEP with dynamically detected node subnet CIDR
  - Sets up VRFs (number matches `JOB_ITERATIONS / NAMESPACES_PER_CUDN`)
  - L3 VNI formula matches `cudn.yml`: `VNI = l3vni_start + iteration` (configurable via `--l3vni-start`)
  - Assigns the external webserver IP as anycast IP on each VRF
  - Starts an Nginx webserver on the host network

- **Cleanup** (`cleanup_external_frr_vrf.sh`): Runs after the last job (`evpn-{scenario}`)
  - Stops the Nginx container
  - Removes FRR BGP VRF configurations
  - Deletes network interfaces (SVIs, VRFs)
  - Removes base bridge and VXLAN infrastructure
  - Deletes the VTEP resource
  - Cleans up frr-k8s directory

```console
# Run north-south scenario with automatic FRR VRF setup
kube-burner-ocp evpn --scenario north-south \
  --external-webserver-ip 172.27.187.82 \
  --external-webserver-port 80 \
  --create-ext-frr-vrf

# With custom L3 VNI start
kube-burner-ocp evpn --scenario north-south \
  --external-webserver-ip 172.27.187.82 \
  --external-webserver-port 80 \
  --create-ext-frr-vrf \
  --l3vni-start 200
```

## CUDN BGP Workload

This workload tests BGP route exchange import and export scenarios for the CUDNs.

Assumptions in this workload:
1. Kube burner must be running on a Linux host
2. Kube burner should be running on the host which is not used as a bastion host to deploy OCP cluster.
   a) Routes in the CUDN gateway router when we have the same host as the deployment host and kube burner host
```console
sh-5.1# ovn-nbctl lr-route-list GR_cluster_udn_cudn.0_e34-h14-000-r650.rdu2.scalelab.redhat.com
IPv4 Routes
Route Table <main>:
              20.0.2.0/24             192.168.0.1 dst-ip rtoe-GR_cluster_udn_cudn.0_e34-h14-000-r650.rdu2.scalelab.redhat.com
                0.0.0.0/0               192.168.0.1 dst-ip rtoe-GR_cluster_udn_cudn.0_e34-h14-000-r650.rdu2.scalelab.redhat.com
```
   b) Routes in the CUDN gateway router when the deployment host and the kube burner host is different
```console
sh-5.1# ovn-nbctl lr-route-list GR_cluster_udn_cudn.0_e34-h14-000-r650.rdu2.scalelab.redhat.com
IPv4 Routes
Route Table <main>:
              20.0.2.0/24             192.168.0.145 dst-ip rtoe-GR_cluster_udn_cudn.0_e34-h14-000-r650.rdu2.scalelab.redhat.com
                0.0.0.0/0               192.168.0.1 dst-ip rtoe-GR_cluster_udn_cudn.0_e34-h14-000-r650.rdu2.scalelab.redhat.com
```
   In case of same host i.e scenario a, ping reply will reach the kube burner even if the route "20.0.2.0/24" is not added, but using default route "0.0.0.0/0 192.168.0.1". Our purpose of the testing is to verify if the external route "20.0.2.0/24" is properly added or not in CUDN's gateway router. So we want the ping test to fail if this route is not correctly imported.

3. An external FRR will be running on the same host where the kube burner is running.
   a) Here kube burner is the generator of the external routes. External FRR imports these routes into the OCP cluster through internal FRR and OVN.
   b) Also when external FRR routes receive the routes from the OCP cluster, kube burner validates them.
4. External FRR will be created by the user and configured to pair up with OCP cluster's OVN internal FRR routers
5. External FRR additionally configured to advertise the host routes i.e

```console
vtysh
configure terminal
router bgp 64512
redistribute static
redistribute connected
end
write
```

Unlike a UDN network, a CUDN network will be cluster scoped and can be used by multiple namespaces. However we restrict this to one namespace by default as our aim here is testing BGP route exchange.

This workload defines multiple jobs as per CUDN requirement. Some of the requirements:
1. Namespace with label "k8s.ovn.org/primary-user-defined-network" before the CUDN creation
2. OVN should create all the necessary resources for CUDN before a pod (or VM) is created on it. Currently we don't have a mechanism to detect if the OVN has created all CUDN's resources. So we are using separate jobs for CUDN and pods/VMs with jobPause. Workload defines one pod or VM per CUDN or, alternatively, `--cidrs-per-cudn` allows for multiple pods (or VMs) per subnet per CUDN.
3. RouteAdvertiments CRD selecting the CUDN. We use 1:1 RA:CUDN mapping.

As we want to measure BGP route exchange latency, this workload skips measurements for all the resources except RouteAdvertisements.

This workload has 2 BGP route exchange scenarios 1) route export scenaio 2) route import scenario
When a RouteAdvertisement is created, it advertises the selected CUDN's subnet to outside cluster. However, an external route is imported to the CUDN's gateway router only when it is advertised by the routeAdvertisment. Hence RouteAdvertisemnt for CUDN is mandatory for both export and import scenarios.

Sequent of events during workload execution
1. Job1 creates namespaces
2. Job2 creates CUDNs
3. Job3 creates Pods (or VMs if `--vm` flag is used)
4. When Job4 execution starts, Kube burner calls start measurement.
   RouteAdvertisment Latency measurement code then
   a. Maintains a list of CUDN subnets and the pod addresses.
   b. Starts export scenario
      i) Main thread subscribes (through routeCh channel) to kernel's netlink sockets for route monitoring
      ii) Starts export workers, which read from the subscribed routeCh channel
      iii) Registers an informer for notifying router advertisement resource creation events
5. Kube burner creates  RouteAdvertisments for CUDNs
   a. Kubernetes API notify the RouteAdvertisment resource to the listening kube burner
   b. OVN using the internal FRR advertises this route to the outside cluster (i.e to external FRR)
   c. External FRR adds the routes to the host. Kernel notifies the routes to the kube burner using netlink sockets
6. RouteAdvertisment Latency measurement code (watchers and export worker threads) then
   a. Records RouteAdvertisement name and creation timestamp when routeadvertisement resource is detected by the API
   b. For each route notified by the kernel, pings the corresponding CUDN's pod and records ping success timestamp
7. Kube burner calls stop measurements. RouteAdvertisment Latency measurement code then
   a. Waits for export scenario completion
   b. Starts import scenario
      i) Main thread creates interfaces, prepares IP addresses and pods to ping (which are needed for worker threads)
      ii) Starts import workers
      iii) Import workers add IP addresses on the interfaces
      iv) Kernel creates the linux route for the added IP address. Then external FRR router exports this to the cluster.
      v) OVN imports this route into the CUDN's gateway router.
      vi) Import worker pings the CUDN pod using the CUDN pod address as destination address and above added IP address as the source address.
      vii) Import worker records the ping success timestamp
   c. Waits for import scenario complettion
8. kube burner indexes all the latency measurements

### Testing with VMs

The CUDN BGP workload supports testing with Virtual Machines (VMs) instead of pods. This allows you to measure BGP route advertisement latency for VMs running on CUDN networks, which is useful for validating virtualization workloads in OpenShift Virtualization environments.

#### Prerequisites

- OpenShift Virtualization (KubeVirt) must be installed and operational on the cluster
- The cluster must support CUDN networks (OCP 4.18+)
- External FRR router configured as described in the [CUDN BGP Workload](#cudn-bgp-workload) section

#### Usage

To run the workload with VMs instead of pods, use the `--vm` flag:

```console
kube-burner-ocp udn-bgp --iterations=10 --vm
```

When the `--vm` flag is enabled:
- The workload creates `VirtualMachine` resources instead of `Pod` resources in Job3
- Each VM is configured to use the CUDN network through the namespace label `k8s.ovn.org/primary-user-defined-network`
- VMs are created with a Fedora-based container disk image and automatically start an HTTP server on port 8080
- The measurement code works seamlessly with VMs since KubeVirt creates VirtualMachineInstances (VMIs) which are pods under the hood

#### Differences from Pod-based Testing

- **Boot Time**: VMs take longer to boot compared to pods, which may affect the overall test duration
- **Resource Usage**: VMs consume more resources (memory, CPU) than lightweight pods
- **Network Behavior**: Network behavior should be identical since both pods and VMIs use the same CUDN network attachment mechanism

### RouteAdvertisement Latency Metrics

RouteAdvetisements latency is calculated for both import and export scenarios, these latency metrics are in ms. It can be enabled with:

```json
  measurements:
  - name: podLatency
```

The metrics collected are route advertisement latency timeseries (raLatencyMeasurement) and six documents holding a summary with different route latency quantiles of ping test and netlink route detection latency (raLatencyQuantilesMeasurement).

One document, such as the following, is indexed per each internal (through Routeadvertisment CRD) and external route (adding ip address on dummy interface) created by the workload:

```json

## OLMv1 Benchmark

To evaluate the performance of `Operator Lifecycle Manager v1` (OLMv1), this benchmark initiates the creation of a series of
`ClusterCatalog` and `ClusterExtension` custom resources. These resources serve as a representative workload to simulate realistic
catalog and operator deployment operations within the cluster. Each `ClusterExtension` internally triggers the resolution and
unpacking of an operator bundle through the configured catalog.

During the test execution, the system actively monitors and collects detailed resource usage metrics — specifically CPU and memory
consumption — for the pods running in both the `openshift-catalogd` and `openshift-operator-controller` namespaces. These
namespaces are critical components of the OLMv1 infrastructure, responsible for catalog resolution and operator deployment,
respectively.

In addition to standard resource metrics, the performance test is also capable of gathering pprof profiling data, which provides
in-depth runtime insights such as goroutine activity, heap allocations, and CPU profiles. This profiling capability is contingent on
the user explicitly enabling pprof endpoints within the OLMv1 components prior to test execution. Once enabled, the test can
automatically scrape and archive the profiling data for further analysis, facilitating root cause investigation and performance
optimization of the OLMv1 stack.

### Environment Requirements

OCP 4.18(OLMv1 GA) and above

## Kueue Operator workloads

The workloads of this family are used to exercise the Kueue Operator by creating pods or jobs depending on the workload. In order to run these jobs, Kueue Operator and Kueue CR should be installed on the target cluster.

### kueue-operator-jobs

This workload creates jobs in a single namespace that are handled by a single ClusterQueue with pre-defined CPU, memory and pod quotas. Key measurements are Kueue admission wait time, job start and completion latencies.

### kueue-operator-jobs-shared

This workload creates jobs in multiple namespaces that are handled by 10 shared ClusterQueues with pre-defined pod quotas. Key measurements are Kueue admission wait time, job start and completion latencies.

### kueue-operator-pods

This workload creates pods in a single namespace that are handled by a single ClusterQueue with pre-defined CPU, memory and pod quotas. Key measurements are Kueue admission wait time and pod ready latency.

## Berserker-load workload

The berserker-load workload deploys DaemonSets whose pods are evenly distributed across cluster nodes. Each pod runs multiple containers that produce four types of load: process spawning, file activity, listening network endpoints, and network connections. This makes it useful for stress-testing monitoring and security tooling that observe pod and cluster behavior.

### Architecture

The workload creates namespaced iterations, each containing:

1. **ConfigMaps**: Configuration files that define the berserker workload parameters (endpoint distribution, network connection rates, process/file activity rates). The ConfigMap template is customizable via the `BERSERKER_CONFIGMAP_TEMPLATE` environment variable.

2. **DaemonSets**: Deployed across cluster nodes, each running containers that generate:
   - **Process and file activity**: Spawns processes and performs file operations at configurable rates
   - **Endpoint load**: Creates listening network endpoints with a configurable port distribution
   - **Connection load**: Generates network connections with configurable arrival/departure rates and connection counts

The container definitions are customizable via the `BERSERKER_CONTAINERS_FILE` environment variable.

3. **Services**: ClusterIP services exposing HTTP (80) and HTTPS (443) ports, backed by the DaemonSet pods. The Service template is customizable via the `BERSERKER_SERVICE_TEMPLATE` environment variable.

### Configuration Flags

- `--job-iterations`: Number of job iterations to create (default: 5)
- `--job-pause`: Duration to pause after creating resources (default: 0)
- `--max-wait-timeout`: Maximum time to wait for created objects to be ready (default: 12m)
- `--pod-ready-threshold`: Pod ready timeout threshold (default: 5m)
- `--deletion-strategy`: GC deletion mode (default: gvr)
- `--daemonset-replicas`: Number of berserker DaemonSets to create per namespace (default: 6)
- `--service-replicas`: Number of services per namespace (default: 6)
- `--churn-cycles`: Number of churn cycles, 0 = infinite when churn-duration > 0 (default: 0)
- `--churn-duration`: Churn duration, 0 disables churn (default: 0)
- `--churn-delay`: Time to wait between each churn (default: 10m)
- `--churn-percent`: Percentage of job iterations to churn each round (default: 80)
- `--churn-mode`: Churn mode: namespaces or objects (default: namespaces)

## Build-Farm workload

The build-farm workload simulates a realistic build farm environment where build jobs are continuously created and churned. This workload is designed to stress-test the control plane by creating controllers that watch jobs and pods, while simultaneously creating and churning build jobs across multiple namespaces.

### Architecture

The workload consists of two main components:

1. **Build Farm Controller**: Deployed in the `build-farm-controllers` namespace this controller simulate build farm operators that watch and manage build jobs.

2. **Build Jobs**: Created in `build-farm-tenant` namespaces with:
   - Service accounts, roles and role bindings for RBAC
   - Secrets (1.5x iterations per namespace)
   - ConfigMaps (0.5x iterations per namespace)
   - Small build jobs (default 80% of total) - lighter weight builds
   - Large build jobs (default 20% of total) - heavier builds
   - Job distribution is configurable via `--small-job-percent` flag
   - Support metadata updates and label distribution for watchers sharding

### Churn Behavior

By default, churning is enabled to simulate realistic build farm behavior where jobs are continuously created, completed and cleaned up. The churn configuration allows you to:
- Define the number of churn cycles (default: 5)
- Set the percentage of jobs to churn each round (default: 60%)
- Configure delays between churn cycles (default: 10 minutes)

### Configuration Flags

The build-farm workload supports customization through command-line flags:

**Controller configuration flags:**
- `--num-controllers`: Number of controller replicas (default: 4)
- `--num-threads`: Number of threads per controller (default: 4)
- `--enable-job-watcher`: Enable job watcher (default: true)
- `--enable-pod-watcher`: Enable pod watcher (default: true)
- `--enable-jobs-listing`: Enable periodic jobs listing (default: true)
- `--enable-secrets-listing`: Enable periodic secrets listing (default: false)
- `--watcher-restart-interval`: Watcher restart interval (default: 600s)
- `--sleep-before-restart`: Sleep duration before restarting watchers (default: 60s)
- `--secrets-list-interval`: Secrets list interval (default: 5s)
- `--jobs-list-interval`: Jobs list interval (default: 5s)
- `--namespace-filter-regex`: Namespace filter regex. Allows filtering namespaces for list operations

**Build job configuration flags:**
- `--metadata-iterations`: Number of metadata update iterations per job (default: 2)
- `--metadata-iterations-delay`: Delay between metadata iterations (default: 5s)
- `--num-watchers`: Number of watchers for label distribution (default: 32)
- `--build-image`: Container image for build simulation (default: "quay.io/prometheus/busybox")
- `--small-job-percent`: Percentage of small build jobs (0-100, large jobs get remainder) (default: 80)

### Use Cases

This workload is particularly useful for:
- Simulating realistic build farm behavior with Jobs churn
- Measuring the impact of periodic list operations on the API server memory
- Testing metadata updates impact on etcd db size with frequent changes

Dive into the details of each section in the template to tailor the workload precisely to your requirements. Experiment, iterate, and discover the optimal configuration for your workload to seamlessly integrate with kube-burner-ocp.

## Index

Just like the regular kube-burner, `kube-burner-ocp` also has an indexing functionality which is exposed as `index` subcommand.

```console
$ kube-burner-ocp index --help
If no other indexer is specified, local indexer is used by default

Usage:
  kube-burner-ocp index [flags]

Flags:
  -m, --metrics-profile string     Metrics profile file (default "metrics.yml")
      --metrics-directory string   Directory to dump the metrics files in, when using default local indexing (default "collected-metrics")
  -s, --step duration              Prometheus step size (default 30s)
      --start int                  Epoch start time
      --end int                    Epoch end time
  -j, --job-name string            Indexing job name (default "kube-burner-ocp-indexing")
      --user-metadata string       User provided metadata file, in YAML format
  -h, --help                       help for index
```

## Metrics-profile type

By specifying `--profile-type`, kube-burner can use two different metrics profiles when scraping metrics from prometheus. By default is configured with `both`, meaning that it will use the regular metrics profiles bound to the workload in question and the reporting metrics profile.

When using the regular profiles ([metrics-aggregated](https://github.com/kube-burner/kube-burner-ocp/blob/master/cmd/config/metrics-aggregated.yml) or [metrics](https://github.com/kube-burner/kube-burner-ocp/blob/master/cmd/config/metrics.yml)), kube-burner scrapes and indexes metrics timeseries.

The reporting profile is very useful to reduce the number of documents sent to the configured indexer. Thanks to the combination of aggregations and instant queries for prometheus metrics, and 4 summaries for latency measurements, only a few documents will be indexed per benchmark. This flag makes possible to specify one or both of these profiles indistinctly.

## Grafana Dashboards

Grafana dashboards are available to visualize kube-burner metrics and performance data. See the [dashboards documentation](dashboards/README.md) for details on how to import and use the dashboards with their corresponding metrics profiles.

## Customizing workloads

It is possible to customize any of the above workload configurations by extracting, updating, and finally running it:

```console
$ kube-burner-ocp node-density --extract
$ ls
alerts.yml  metrics.yml  node-density.yml  pod.yml  metrics-report.yml
$ vi node-density.yml                               # Perform modifications accordingly
$ kube-burner-ocp node-density --pods-per-node=100  # Run workload
```
