Weekly updates

May 12, 2014

Hello stackers,

here's what has happened in the project during the past week:


Despite the ongoing OpenStack Summit in Atlanta, we still have ambitious plans for this week, which include adding more benchmark scenarios (Heat, Neutron, Ceilometer etc.), working on code runtime efficiency improvements, improving the code for drawing plots and so on.


We encourage you to take a look at new patches in Rally pending for review and to help us make Rally better.

Hello stackers,

due to holidays there hasn't been very much contribution to Rally during the past week. The highlights are as follows:


There is going to be much work this week that includes adding new benchmark scenarios (e.g. for Tempest, Neutron and Ceilometer), further improvements in CLI and graphs and also several bugfixes.

Hello stackers,

the most important changes during the past week in Rally have been concentrated on creating completely new benchmark scenario classes and adding support for new contexts. To be more precise:


This week, we'll continue our work on expanding the range projects supported by our benchmarks. Benchmark scenarios already pending for review are those for Heat, Ceilometer and also Tempest. The ongoing work also includes several improvents in the overall user experience, e.g. changes in the CLI output format.

Hello stackers,

here is the report of our recent activities in Rally. They have been quite numerous this week due to the contributions of our constantly growing team and include a couple of changes that touch the end user:

  • The scenario runner previously known as continuous has been split to 2 scenario runners named constant and constant_for_duration, thus becoming more "atomic" (previously, the continuous scenario runner was able to run scenarios both for the specified amount of times and for some duration. These two types of behaviour now belong to different runners). "Constant" means that both scenario runners generate a constant load on the cloud;
  • Several changes in the input configuration files formats include:
  • Several improvements in context classes:


This week, we continue our work on new benchmark scenarios for Tempest and quotas, new contexts as well as on many other improvements in Rally.

Hello stackers,

let us list our main contributions to Rally during the past week:


This week, our work continues with several new benchmark scenarios (including those for Tempest), new validators and also new functionality in the Rally core, e.g. the ability to use already existing tenants/users for benchmarking, implemented now through contexts.

Hello stackers,

our contributions this week have been pretty diverse and touched different parts of Rally. Let us name a few that seem to be the most interesting ones:


There are also other parts of Rally which are in progress now and will hopefully have their patches merged the next week, e.g. the work on Tempest integration or further context classes implementation.
