Kyverno Load Testing

This repository contains scripts and tools for load testing Kyverno.

Structure

• k6/tests - contains the k6 tests
• k6/rbac - contains the necessary RBAC resources to run tests
• k6/run.sh - contains a scaffold for running the tests

Running the tests

You can use make to run the tests through the run target. You can basically pass it any arguments you would pass to k6 run.

make run -- k6/tests/kyverno-pss.js -e SCENARIO=breakpoint

Or,

make run --  k6/tests/kyverno-pss.js --vus 100 --iterations 1000

This will install k6 and run the test k6/tests/kyverno-pss.js with 100 virtual users and 1000 iterations.

What do the tests do?

The tests are designed to simulate a real-world scenario where a user is creating, updating, and deleting resources in a Kubernetes cluster. The tests are designed to be run against a Kyverno policy that enforces its rules on the resources.
