What is miniplanes?

miniplanes is a synthetic workload for Kubernetes/Openshift cluster. It has been designed and developed to represent Amadeus test-case for Kubernetes Federation-v2 use cases. It's also simple enough to be as a simple smoke-test in e2e regression and demos.

Currently it's a minimalist 3-tiers application, with usual presentation tier, application tier, data tier. Three REST services implements the three tiers and each REST service is backed by a process (container):

• data tier is storage

• application tier is itineraries-server

• presentation tier is ui.

• storage is a wrapper for the real DB data (currently a MongoDB).

• itineraries-server is the potentially cpu intensive application which computes itineraries, graph computation.

• ui is the web server.

All data used in miniplanes come from openflights.org/data.html, all credits go to them.

Deployment

At the moment miniplanes runs in an Openshift/Kubernetes cluster. The manifest files are available in .../manifests/k8s folder.

Due to its simplicity miniplanes can easily deployed locally on a system. To deploy it locally some scripts have been written in hack folder.

To deploy in a Kubernetes/Openshift cluster

Manifest files are in deployment directory.
