Run iperf 3 benchmark on kubernetes

There are two files in the folder bandwidth:

• the server iperf3-server.yaml
• the client iperf3-client.yaml

Results

The results of our experiments are located in the results folder.

Images and visualizations of data and analysis are located in the images folder.

visualize.ipynb is a notebook which was used to generate the heatmaps for the iperf3 tests.

TODO

• add a way to specify the namespace
• Run http benchmark until the server is up to 90% cpu usage
• loading bar for the benchmark
• Stream the output of the benchmark (Use streamlit)
