Riak AWS Benchmarking

About

The idea is to be able to specify size/type of Riak cluster, and size/type of benchmark, and this will automatically spin up AWS instances, benchmark, record info, save all the results, and then blow away all nodes.

Features

• creates a VPC
• attaches/formats/configures volumes of custom type
• tunes instances
• uses influxdb and configures telegraf on all nodes
• imports all riak stats using telegraf
• uses distributed basho_bench & generates summary
• copies influxdb dataset & benchmark results locally
• wipes everything after benchmark

Usage

• set your boto/AWS creds:

  • http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/ec2_module.html )

• copy and edit example-bb.json options

• run ./start_bench.sh

NOTE:

• by default, start_bench.sh will also wipe the cluster once it's done
• doesn't install grafana by default. json dashboard for convenience

TODO:

• test local influxdb data recovery
• add option to request spot instances
• create influxdb/grafana docker to view influxdb data
• option to use local/persistant influxdb
