Rally is run on a different server with Ubuntu 20.4 operating system to benchmark the ECK cluster configured with three master and five data nodes on the upstream Kubernetes. The upstream Kubernetes is hosted on three bare metal compute-only nodes and four SO PowerFlex nodes.
There are 8 CPUs and 8 GB RAM allocated for each master pod. Each data pod is allocated with 8 CPUs and 64 GB of memory. The Dell CSI driver is used to allocate a 1 TB persistent volume for data storage.
The following figure shows the benchmark setup for Rally:
