Automated stress testing of Canary patterns using VAMP by magnetic.io

Abstract

During our development of VAMP, the canary-test & -release platform for containers and microservices, we encounter lots of very interesting challenges. One of them is how to make sure that the canary-release patterns that VAMP manages are always working as expected, even under heavy stress. To create these insights we have developed a set of features and recipes to enable the automated stress-testing of canary-related workflows to see how container and microservices topologies behave when brought under constant change and stress. This presentation tells you about what VAMP is, why and how we designed the canary-test & release features, and shows you how VAMP can stress-test different container & microservice topologies, deployments and modifications in an automated way.
