Testing & Benchmarking

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

This guide describes how to perform microbenchmarking and testing of kube-network-policies.

Microbenchmarking Setup

To measure performance and latency under load, you can deploy a test HTTP server and poll it with high concurrency.

1. Collect metrics from agents

Install and configure Prometheus in your cluster to scrape metrics from the kube-network-policies agents. The agents expose Prometheus-compatible metrics on port 9080 at the /metrics endpoint.

2. Deploy target Pods and Service

Since network policies apply to the first packet of a connection, we want to measure new connection setup latency. To do this, we generate many new short-lived connections (without HTTP keepalives or HTTP/2 multiplexing).
