Experiment Evidence

Run summaries, dashboard assets, and release artifacts.

Lightweight previews only. Raw runs stay out of Git; committed manifests point to curated evidence roots and reproducible rebuild commands.

Tracked Views

Evidence roots and source paths.

Each preview points back to source files, release artifacts, or documented evidence roots.

release

The first public release includes Linux and macOS binaries, Helm package, checksums, GHCR image tags, SBOM, and provenance.

ghcr.io/vshulcz/toy-load:v0.1.0

Published numeric cells stay separate from indexed evidence roots. This makes the current scope useful without implying a full aggregate benchmark.

Controller	Step	Spike	Seasonality	Status
CPU HPA60 baseline	Indexed	Published numeric pair	Indexed	Primary reactive baseline.
Hybrid-SA MPC	Indexed	Indexed; supporting run published	Indexed	Primary tuned predictive controller.
Proxy-HPA plus safety	Indexed	Indexed	Indexed	Comparator summary still needed.
No-QP reactive policy	Indexed	Indexed	Indexed	Comparator summary still needed.
Vanilla HPA80	Indexed	Indexed	Indexed	Comparator summary still needed.

Grafana panels are backed by the committed dashboard sources in dashboards/ and the toy-load metrics documented in toy-load/README.md#metrics.

Panel	Metric source	Use
Request rate	`rate(toy_http_requests_total{path="/work"}[1m])`	Tracks workload throughput during step, spike, and seasonality runs.
Errors	`toy_errors_total` and non-2xx `toy_http_requests_total`	Shows injected application failures and failed request responses.
Latency quantiles	`histogram_quantile(... toy_http_request_duration_seconds_bucket)`	Compares p95 and p99 response latency across controller policies.
In-flight requests	`toy_in_flight_requests`	Highlights queueing pressure while demand changes.
CPU	`container_cpu_usage_seconds_total` and HPA CPU utilization	Explains the reactive signal that drives the CPU HPA baseline.
Memory	`container_memory_working_set_bytes`	Checks pod resource behavior during load-generator scenarios.

Alias	Role	Scenarios	Notes
`thesis/main/hpa60_cpu_hpa_max70`	Primary baseline	step, spike, seasonality	CPU-HPA60 baseline under max70 comparison setup.
`thesis/main/hybrid_sa_max70_tuned`	Primary MPC	step, spike, seasonality	Final tuned Hybrid-SA root used for corrected thesis results.
`thesis/comparator/proxy_hpa_safety_max70`	Comparator	step, spike, seasonality	Reactive proxy-HPA plus safety comparator.
`thesis/comparator/no_qp_reactive_max70`	Comparator	step, spike, seasonality	No-QP reactive comparator.
`thesis/comparator/vanilla_hpa80_max70`	Comparator	step, spike, seasonality	Vanilla HPA80 comparator.
