Avassa edge sites scale tests

Introduction

Edge is different from the cloud in many ways:

• limited foot-print
• offline requirements
• number of sites (focus of this document)
• and more…

It is highly relevant to know that the platform you pick is designed and validated for your requirements. If you pick a solution for cloud and try to put it to work at the edge you might stumble. A killer requirement mentioned above is that edge is characterized by managing a large set of sites. In this article we will describe the scale tests we do at Avassa for managing up to 10 000 sites.

We will walk through are scale tests in the following way

• Test setup: information on how we did run the tests
• Test results, resource usage: this shows test results concerning resource usage in the central orchestrator, the Control Tower: memory, CPU, disk I/O, networking
• Test results, performance: this shows the time it takes to complete test operations like deploying an application to all sites
• Comparison with Rancher and KubeEdge: we compare our test results with public scaling information from Rancher and KubeEdge REMOVE?
