- Distributed load testing with GKE
NOTE The below instructions to for multi instance load operations deploy as a kubernetes deployment. This means that kubernetes will continuously restart your load or run instances until you manually stop them. It is important that you do not leave them running indefinitely.

--num-nodes 3kubectl create secret generic gcsb-sa-key --from-file=key.json=./key.jsongcloud builds submit --tag gcr.io/$PROJECT_ID/gcsb .To run inside Kubernetes, you will need to mount the ServiceAccount key secret into the container. Additionally, you will need to set the environment variable GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS pointing to this key file. Below, there are instructions for single container launches versus parallel launches.
If you want to simply run a single instance of gcsb to perform a load operation, you can launch a POD via the kubectl run command.
kubectl run gcsb-load \
--image=gcr.io/$PROJECT_ID/gcsb \
--replicas=1 \
--restart=Never \
--overrides='{
"apiVersion": "v1",
"spec": {
"containers": [{
"name": "gcsb-load",
"image": "gcr.io/'$PROJECT_ID'/gcsb",
"command": [ "/gcsb", "load" ],
"args": [ "--project='$PROJECT_ID'", "--instance='$SPANNER_INSTANCE'", "--database='$SPANNER_DATABASE'", "--table=SingleSingers", "--operations=1000000"],
"volumeMounts": [{"mountPath": "/var/secrets/google", "name": "google-cloud-key"}],
"env": [{ "name": "GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS", "value": "/var/secrets/google/key.json" }]
}],
"volumes": [ { "name": "google-cloud-key", "secret": { "secretName": "gcsb-sa-key" } } ]
}
}'To create a load operation named 'gcsb-load', you must edit the gke_load.yaml file, supplying your spanner information.
For example, everywhere you se the comment EDIT: you must specify your information.
- --project=YOUR_PROJECT_ID # EDIT: Your GCP Project ID
- --instance=YOUR_INSTANCE_ID # EDIT: Your Spanner Instance ID
- --database=YOUR_DATABASE # EDIT: Your Spanner Database Name
- --table=YOUR_TABLE # EDIT: Your Table Name
- --operations=1000000 # EDIT: Number of Operations
- --threads=10 # EDIT: Number of ThreadsOnce you have completed the necessary file edits, run the following.
kubectl apply -f docs/gke_load.yamlto stop the test
kubectl delete deploy gcsb-loadIf you want to simply run a single instance of gcsb to perform a run operation, you can launch a POD via the kubectl run command.
kubectl run gcsb-load \
--image=gcr.io/$PROJECT_ID/gcsb \
--replicas=1 \
--restart=Never \
--overrides='{
"apiVersion": "v1",

}],
"volumes": [ { "name": "google-cloud-key", "secret": { "secretName": "gcsb-sa-key" } } ]
}
}'To create a load operation named 'gcsb-run', you must edit the gke_run.yaml file, supplying your spanner information.
For example, everywhere you se the comment EDIT: you must specify your information.
- --project=YOUR_PROJECT_ID # EDIT: Your GCP Project ID
- --instance=YOUR_INSTANCE_ID # EDIT: Your Spanner Instance ID
- --database=YOUR_DATABASE # EDIT: Your Spanner Database Name

- --writes=50 # EDIT: Write Weight (Example: 50 = 50% writes)
- --sample-size=5 # EDIT: Percentage of table to sample for generating reads (Example: 5 = 5% of the rows in the table)Once you have completed the necessary file edits, run the following.
kubectl apply -f docs/gke_run.yamlto stop the test
kubectl delete deploy gcsb-runIf you prefer to mount your custom gcsb file into the container, you should follow these instructions
The below example assumes your conig file is named gcsb.yaml
kubectl create configmap gcsb-config --from-file=gcsb.yamlTo create a load operation named 'gcsb-load', you must edit the gke_load_custom.yaml file, supplying your spanner information.
For example, everywhere you se the comment EDIT: you must specify your information.
- --table=YOUR_TABLE # EDIT: Your Table NameOnce you have completed the necessary file edits, run the following.
kubectl apply -f docs/gke_load_custom.yamlto stop the test
kubectl delete deploy gcsb-loadTo create a load operation named 'gcsb-run', you must edit the gke_run_custom.yaml file, supplying your spanner information.
For example, everywhere you se the comment EDIT: you must specify your information.
- --table=YOUR_TABLE # EDIT: Your Table NameOnce you have completed the necessary file edits, run the following.
kubectl apply -f docs/gke_run_custom.yamlto stop the test
kubectl delete deploy gcsb-runSchemaError(io.k8s.api.autoscaling.v2beta2.MetricTarget): invalid object doesn't have additional properties
There are issues with some kubectl installations from homebrew. Please relink your kubectl installation by following these instructions.
