Add docs on provision time and network performance
2017-10-04 08:44:26 +02:00
# Performance
## Provision Time
Provisioning times vary based on the platform. Sampling the time to create (apply) and destroy clusters with 1 controller and 2 workers shows (roughly) what to expect.
| Platform | Apply | Destroy |
|---------------|-------|---------|
Promote AWS platform from alpha to beta

| AWS | 6 min | 5 min |

| Bare-Metal | 10-14 min | NA |
digital-ocean: Run etcd cluster on-host, across controllers * Run etcd peers with TLS across controller nodes * Deprecate self-hosted-etcd on the Digital Ocean platform * Distribute etcd TLS certificates as part of initial provisioning * Check the status of etcd by running `systemctl status etcd-member`

| Digital Ocean | 3 min 30 sec | 20 sec |
Run etcd cluster on-host, across controllers on Google Cloud * Change controllers from a managed group to individual instances * Create discrete DNS records to each controller's private IP for etcd * Change etcd to run on-host, across controllers (etcd-member.service) * Reduce time to bootstrap a cluster * Deprecate self-hosted-etcd on the Google Cloud platform

* SOA TTL and NXDOMAIN caching can have a large impact on provision time

* Platforms with auto-scaling take more time to provision (AWS, Google)

* Bare-metal POST times and network bandwidth will affect provision times

## Network Performance
Fix typos in docs and CONTRIBUTING.md

Network performance varies based on the platform and CNI plugin. `iperf` was used to measure the bandwidth between different hosts and different pods. Host-to-host shows typical bandwidth between host machines. Pod-to-pod shows the bandwidth between two `iperf` containers.

* Calico and Flannel have comparable performance. Platform and configuration differences dominate.

* Neither CNI provider seems to be able to leverage bonded NICs (bare-metal)
* AWS and Digital Ocean network bandwidth fluctuates more than on other platforms.

* Only [certain AWS EC2 instance types](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/network_mtu.html#jumbo_frame_instances) allow jumbo frames. This is why the default MTU on AWS must be 1480.
