Docker¶
The Benchmarking Suite is also distributed in two different Docker containers. They are available at https://cloud.docker.com/app/benchsuite/repository/list.
benchsuite-multiexec¶
This container can be used to run benchmarks in batch mode.
Get (or update) the image with:
docker pull benchsuite/benchsuite-multiexec
Run the container binding the provider and storage (optional) configuration files stored in the local machine and passing the list of tests to execute as parameters (e.g. idle:idle5
):
docker run -v /home/mypc/amazon.conf:/provider.conf -v /home/mypc/storage.conf:/storage.conf benchsuite/benchsuite-multiexec:dev -p provider.conf -s centos_micro idle:idle5
In case the storage service is running on the local machine, it could be necessary to use the --net=host
option to reach it.
Alternatively, provider and storage configurations can be specified through environment variables: BENCHSUITE_PROVIDER
and BENCHSUITE_STORAGE_CONFIG
respectively.
docker run -e BENCHSUITE_PROVIDER="[myconf]...." -e BENCHSUITE_SERVICE_TYPE="centos_micro" -v /home/mypc/storage.conf:/storage.conf benchsuite/benchsuite-multiexec:dev idle:idle5
benchsuite-rest-server¶
This image contains the Benchmarking Suite REST SERVER (see REST Server section). When started, the container exposes the REST service on port 5000.
To run the container, just use the Docker CLI:
docker run benchsuite/benchsuite-rest-server
The service reads the Benchmarking Suite Configuration from the /
directory of the container. For instance, to provide a configuration for the storage (to persist results in the db) mount a file in the container named /storage.conf
or /storage.json
:
docker run -v my-storage.conf:/storage.conf benchsuite/benchsuite-rest-server
Also providers configuration files can be mounted in the container in the same way:
docker run -v my-provider.conf:/providers/my-provider.conf benchsuite/benchsuite-rest-server
