Establish performance baseline for J8a on common AWS hardware.
Record telemetry data for J8a process, including upstream, downstream connections, memory, CPU consumption, data throughput and roundtrip latency while under load from multiple downstream clients and proxying to multiple upstream resources.
This project uses ansible to configure virtual servers as http client machines, proxy server and multiple upstream machines to run a performance test suite. Client connections are created using p0d and J8a routes to an upstream HTTP servers running mse6.
In this phase, the test set-up is validated, including the ansible scripts. It
lives on the pre-test branch

- Configure ansible to use the hosts file, by adding the below to
~/.ansible.cfg
[defaults]
inventory = $PWD/hosts- Update the
./hostsfile IP addresses of AWS machines.
...
[j8a]
pt-j8a1 ip={{your ip}}
...Make sure these machines are available on port 8080 and 8443 publicly.
Ideally they are placed in the same subnet to avoid measuring network lag. Don't
forget to update your ssh aliases under ~/.ssh/config if necessary.
