Launching worker nodes

Before launching worker nodes, make sure you have a master node ready to run (start with locust -f locust.py --master). It should have a public IP accessible.

To launch worker nodes you need a digital ocean API token - https://cloud.digitalocean.com/account/api/tokens

Then specify the environment variable DO_API_TOKEN, e.g. export DO_API_TOKEN=<token>

Verify settings for your launch in vars.yml

Then run the launch command ansible-playbook launch-workers.yml

Terminating worker nodes

When you are done running the test, run the command: ansible-playbook terminate-workers.yml

Status of worker nodes

Run ./status.sh to get the systemctl status locust on all worker nodes.

Restart locust on workers

Run ./restart-workers.sh to restart all worker nodes.
