Performance Testing
Learn how to run comprehensive performance tests on your containers and analyze the results.
Types of Performance Tests
Load Testing
Tests your container's performance under expected load conditions:
- Simulates normal user traffic
- Measures response times
- Identifies performance bottlenecks
Stress Testing
Pushes your container beyond normal operating conditions:
- Tests system limits
- Identifies breaking points
- Measures recovery time
Test Configuration
Test Parameters
Configure your test with these essential parameters:
- Number of virtual users
- Test duration
- Ramp-up period
- Target endpoints
Resource Monitoring
Monitor these key resources during testing:
- CPU utilization
- Memory usage
- Network I/O
- Disk I/O
Running Tests
1. Prepare Your Environment
- Ensure stable network connection
- Check resource availability
- Verify test configuration
2. Start the Test
- Select test type
- Configure parameters
- Begin monitoring
3. Monitor Progress
- Watch real-time metrics
- Check for errors
- Monitor resource usage
