We measure the performance overhead and efficiency of security policies, monitoring, and GitOps tools.

Security Policy Overhead​

Network Policy Performance Impact​

Scheduled for Testing

This benchmark is currently in preparation.

Metrics

  • Latency change when Network Policy is applied
  • Performance scale based on number of policy rules
  • Cilium vs Calico policy engine comparison

Monitoring Resource Usage​

Monitoring Agent Overhead​

Metrics

  • Prometheus memory/CPU usage
  • Node monitoring agent resource usage
  • Impact by metric collection interval

GitOps Synchronization​

Flux CD / ArgoCD Performance​

Metrics

  • Git synchronization latency
  • Large-scale manifest processing speed
  • Concurrent deployment throughput
