Hi all, Frode brought up during last week's OVN IRC meeting the possibility of moving ovn-heater [0] to the ovn-org [1] organization.
For some context: today ovn-heater uses containers on multiple bare metal machines to simulate OVN nodes provisioned by ovn-kubernetes (already part of ovn-org [2]) in various scenarios. This is used to benchmark OVN (and ovsdb-server and other OVS components) at scale in these scenarios. We (at Red Hat) have been using ovn-heater consistently (weekly runs) throughout the last year in order to benchmark OVN in OpenShift like scenarios in clusters scaling up to 500 nodes. These runs have already helped us pin-point a lot of the scale related issues (both OVN and ovsdb-server) that have been fixed in the last months/year. The core of ovn-heater is (rather simple) python code so there should be no reason that would block us from adding more scale test scenarios to simulate clusters provisioned by other CMS (e.g., OpenStack) turning ovn-heater into a generic OVN scale testing tool. I cc-ed all the OVN maintainers and all GitHub ovn-org owners but feedback from the whole community is more than welcome! Thank you!
