Antrea Longevity Test for sustained performance while maintaining its functionality and stability over an extended period

[rajnkamr]

Describe what you are trying to solve

The goal of Antrea longevity test is to ensure that it can maintain its functionality, stability, and performance over an extended period without degradation or failure.

1.Set up monitoring tools to collect and visualize performance metrics over a well defined period.
2.Measure the ability to handle sustained usage over time without exhibiting issues such as memory leaks, resource exhaustion, performance degradation, or unexpected behavior.
3. Involve running various scenarios or workflows that simulate real-world usage patterns to mimic how users interact with the system over time like simulating external and internal traffic.
4. Key parameters monitored during longevity testing include memory usage, CPU utilization, network traffic, response times, error rates.
5.Identify and report issues related to system stability, resource management, and performance degradation that may only surface during prolonged operation.
6.To ensure the period run of longevity tests, integrate it into the CI framework.
