+## K3S Performance Tests
+---
+
+These scripts uses Terraform to automate building and testing on k3s clusters on AWS, it supports building normal and HA clusters with N master nodes, N workers nodes and multiple storage backends including:
+
+- MySQL RDS
+- Postgres RDS
+- Etcd
+- SQlite
+
+The scripts divides into three sections:
+
+- server
+- agents
+- tests
+
+### Server
+
+The server section deploys the storage backend and then deploys N master nodes, the scripts can be customized to use HA mode or use a single node cluster with sqlite backend, it can also support using 1 master node with external DB, the scripts can also be customized to specify instance type and k3s version, all available options are described in the variable section below.
+
+The server section will also create a one or more agent nodes specifically for Prometheus deployment, clusterloader2 will deploy prometheus and grafana.
+
+### Agents
+
+The agents section deploys the k3s agents, it can be customized with different options that controls the agent node count and the instance types.
+
+### Tests
+
+The tests section uses a fork off the  (clusterloader2)[https://github.com/kubernetes/perf-tests/tree/master/clusterloader2] tool, the fork just modifies the logging and removes the etcd metrics probes.
+
+this section will use a dockerized version of the tool, which will run the tests and save the report in `tests/<test_name>-<random-number>`.
+
+The current available tests are:
+
+- load test
+- density test
+
+## Variables
+
+The scripts can be modified by customizing the variables in `scripts/config`, the variables includes:

+
+## Usage
+
+### build
+
+The script includes a Makefile that run different sections, to build the master and workers, adjust the config file in `tests/perf/scripts/config` and then use the following:
+
+```
+cd tests/perf
+make apply
+```
+
+This will basically build the db, server, and agent layers, it will also deploy a kubeconfig file in tests/kubeconfig.yaml.
+
+### test
+
+To start the clusterloader2 load test you can modify the tests/perf/tests/load/config.yaml and then run the following:
+
+```
+cd tests/perf
+make test
+```
+
+### destroy
+
+To destroy the cluster just run the following:
+```
+make destroy
+make clean
+```
