This runs workloads that are labeled as "integration-test". The apiserver and
scheduler are only started once per unique configuration, followed by each
workload using that configuration. This makes execution faster. In contrast to
benchmarking, we care less about starting with a clean slate for each test.
This is required because an empty name is no longer supported: the
perf-dashboard is run with --allow-parsers-matching-all-tests=false with causes
perfdash to skip current configuration for BenchmarkPerfResults as it does not
have name
set (4674704f45/perfdash/metrics-downloader.go (L165-L167)).
The perf-dash config needs to be updated accordingly.
Entire test cases and workloads can have labels attached to them. The union of
these must match the label filter which works as in GitHub. The benchmark by
default runs the tests that are labeled "performance", which is the same as
before.
Some scripts and tools still relied on the deprecated flags, the ones
which are about to be removed.
This is intentionally not a complete removal of all those flags in the entire
repo. This would lead to much more code churn also in places where commands
still accept the flags because they use klog directly.
When running an integration test that measures performance, like for example
test/integration/scheduler_perf, running etcd with debug level output is
undesirable because it creates additional load on the system and isn't
realistic.
The default is still "debug", but ETCD_LOGLEVEL=warn can be used to override
that.
The configuration file was design as a yaml file on purpose.
To easily extend the test cases without a need to modify
the testing binary. Also, it's possible to extend the configuration
itself to enrich individual test cases.
