Breaking changes:

  • Added --accept_licenses flag. User have to turn this flag on to acknowledge that PKB may install software thereby accepting license agreements on the user's behalf.
  • Renamed Database-related flags from managed_db* to db* Added alias for backwards compatibility, might not be supported in the future release.
  • Require Python 3.9+
  • The core_os os_type was removed from the Azure provider as the image was deleted,
    • It will be replaced by Fedora Core OS if a public image is made available.
  • The dpb_sparksql_benchmark now requires passing the requested queries with --dpb_sparksql_query_order
  • AwsVirtualMachine.IMAGE_OWNER has been changed from a string to a list of strings to support images which have multiple owners e.g. AmazonLinux2 in opt-in regions.
  • Remove Ubuntu1710 from --os_types.
  • Remove Amazon Linux 1 from --os_types.
  • Changed redis_memtier_benchmark to use redis version 6 and above. Redis versions less than 6 are no longer supported.
  • Compressed redis_memtier samples from --memtier_time_series into a few time-to-value dictionaries, greatly reducing the number of samples produced
  • Make Ubuntu 18 the default os_type.
  • Deprecate Ubuntu 16 as it is EOL on 2021-05-01.
  • Switch to Azure CLI to MSAL. This requires updating the CLI to >= 2.30.0.
  • Remove deprecated --eks_zones flags. Use --zones instead.
  • Deprecate CentOS Linux 8 as it is EOL on 2021-12-31.
  • --zones and --extra_zones deprecated in favor of --zone.
  • Deprecate Aerospike_YCSB benchmark.
  • Remove pkb's --placement_group_style cloud-agnostic values 'cluster'/ 'cluster_if_supported'/'spread'/'spread_if_supported'.
  • Replace flag --ibm_azone with --ibm_region.
  • Changed the default benchmark to cluster_boot instead of the standard set. This makes the default behavior for PKB much faster and the standard set of benchmarks was defined many years ago. It's not a reasonable introduction to PKB or something that most people should run by default.
  • --dpb_export_job_stats is now False by default.
  • Validate arguments to IssueCommand & RobustRemoteCommand. Replaced force_info_log & suppress_warning parameters with vm_command_log_mode flag, added should_pre_log parameter. Passed stacklevel variable to logging to better distinguish between RemoteCommand call sites. See stacklevel docs: https://docs.python.org/3/library/logging.html#logging.Logger.debug
  • Remove Dataflow parameter --maxNumWorkers by default and add dataflow_max_worker_count in spec to allow users to set this parameter on their own.
  • Remove flag fio_write_against_multiple_clients from FIO.
  • Remove flag benchmark_compatibility_checking.
  • Drop windows coremark benchmark.
  • Remove cudnn linux package.
  • Make Ubuntu 20 the default os_type.
  • Default --ip_addresses to INTERNAL.
  • Add multichase_benchmark flag defaults.
  • For hammerdbcli_benchmark, set default num_warehouses=25num_cpus and num_vu=2num_cpus.
  • Remove old spark_benchmark and hadoop_terasort_benchmark and related services. Prefer to use the newer dpb_generic_benchmark and dpb_terasort_benchmark.
  • gcp/aws/azure_provisioned_iops/throughput flags are unified to provisioned_iops/throughput flags.
  • aws_dynamodb_ycsb benchmark now requires an explicit --aws_dynamodb_ycsb_cli_profile flag to select the credentials to talk to YCSB.
  • Benchmarks that require EC2 client VMs now require --aws_ec2_instance_profile to configure VM permissions instead of installing local AWS CLI credentials via aws_credentials.py. This must be set up by the user beforehand. See AWS documentation
    • Alternatively for EKS benchmarking, clusters require --aws_eks_pod_identity_role for Kubernetes VMs inside the cluster calling APIs. The role must be set up by the user beforehand. See AWS documentation
  • Split --azure_preprovisioned_data_bucket into --azure_preprovisioned_data_account and --azure_preprovisioned_data_subscription, which allows cross-subscription access.
  • Remove Rocky Linux on Azure.
  • Changed supported Python version to 3.11.
  • Deprecate CentOS Linux 7 as it is EOL on 2024-06-30.
  • Remove EOL CentOS 8 and CentOS Stream 8.
