Abstract

Reproducibility is often mentioned as a core requirement for benchmarking studies of software systems and services. "Cloud-native" is an emerging style for building large-scale software systems, which leads to an increasing amount of benchmarks for cloud-native tools and architectures. However, the complex nature of cloud-native deployments makes the execution and repetition of benchmarks tedious and error-prone. In this paper we report on our experience with developing a benchmarking tool based on established cloud-native patterns and tools. In particular, we present a benchmarking tool architecture based on the Kubernetes Operator Pattern. Accompanied with a role model and a data model for describing benchmarks and their executions, this architecture aims to simplify defining, distributing, and executing benchmarks for better reproducibility.
