Baseline Testing: Reconfiguration performance

[mpstefan]

Ensure the control plane is able to process X number of resources in Y time and apply the configuration to the data plane

Acceptance

• A process is documented for testing reconfiguration performance when resources are added to the environment. This process should specify:
  • Number of resources to deploy
  • Environment to deploy the test into
  • A "startup case" where Gateway resources are already present before installing NKG
  • A case where NKG is installed and then Gateway resources are added.
  • A case where many HTTP Routes resources are already present before NKG is installed. After NKG is installed, a Gateway that matches the HTTPRoutes is created.
• The amount of time it takes to configure NKG with the resources added is shown as the results of the test.
• No element of the test is randomized.
• The test is carried out manually and the results are reported in a static document within the NKG repo.

Baseline Testing: Reload Count#955 can be a subcase of this.
