Description: ========
        Overview
        ========
        
        How good is your OpenStack data or storage plane under real heavy load?
        
        KloudBuster is a tool that can load the data or storage plane of any OpenStack
        cloud at massive scale and can measure how well the cloud behaves under load.
        
        Anybody with very basic knowledge of OpenStack, data plane and storage
        performance concepts can use the tool and get scale numbers for any OpenStack
        cloud straight off the box wth pre-defined default workloads.
        
        
        Features
        --------
        
        * Neutron configuration agnostic (any encapsulation, any overlay, any plugin)
        
        * OpenStack Storage backend agnostic
        
        * User can specify any number of tenants, routers, networks, VM instances (only
          limited by cloud capacity) and KloudBuster will stage all these resources in a
          way that makes sense for operational usage
        
        * Real VM-level performance and scale numbers (not bare metal)
        
        * Punishing scale (thousands of VMs and enough load to fill even the fastest NIC
          cards or load any storage cluster with ease - if your cloud can even support
          that much)
        
        * Data plane with HTTP traffic load:
           * Can load the data plane with one OpenStack cloud (single-cloud operations
             for L3 East-West scale) or 2 OpenStack clouds (dual-cloud operations with
             one cloud hosting the HTTP servers and the other loading HTTP traffic for
             L3 North-South scale testing)
        
           * Real HTTP servers (Nginx) running in real Linux images (Ubuntu 14.04)
        
           * Can specify any number of HTTP servers per tenant (as many as your cloud
             can handle)
        
           * High performance and highly scalable HTTP traffic generators to simulate
             huge number of HTTP users and TCP connections (hundreds of thousands to
             millions of concurrent and active connections)
        
           * Overall throughput aggegation and loss-less latency aggregation for every
             single HTTP request (typically millions per run) using the open source
             HdrHistogram library
        
           * Traffic shaping to specify on which links traffic should flow
        
           * Can support periodic reporting and aggregation of results
        
        * Storage load:
           * VM-level Cinder volume file I/O using FIO running inside VMs (not bare
             metal)
        
           * Supports random amd sequential file access mode
        
           * Supports read, write and read/write mix
        
           * IOPs, bandwitdh and loss-less latency aggregation
        
           * User configurable storage workload profiles
        
        * Supports automated scale progressions (VM count series in any multiple
          increment)
        
        * Highly efficient and scalable metric aggregation
        
        * Automatic cleanup upon termination (can be disabled)
        
        * Manual cleanup script
        
        * KloudBuster Web Server with Web UI to drive scale test from your browser
        
        * KloudBuster REST Server allows external programs to drive scale automation
          using REST
        
        * Aggregated results provide an easy to understand way to assess the scale of
          the cloud under test
        
        * KloudBuster VM image pre-built and available from the OpenStack Community App
          Catalog (https://apps.openstack.org/)
        
        
        Limitations
        -----------
        
        * Requires Neutron networking (does not support Nova networking)
        * Only supports HTTP and storage traffic in this version
