Show HN: Cluster-iperf, a configurable docker image for iperf testing

Author here. This image arose out of a desire to possibly do some performance testing in kubernetes and ECS. It's configurable to run in client or server mode, and example files are included to create repl. controller./services in kubernetes and tasks in ecs, though these are untested atm. The image can also be configured to log to a remote rsyslog server. If anyone has the opportunity to test it would love any feedback!

Handy, thanks for sharing

I like the idea and will try to get some time out to test it.

I did something related not long ago, where I included Wormhole's[1] agent so you could test network performance between Docker containers on different hosts (and through Wormhole's network of course). It was more a PoC for seamless multi-host Docker networking than for serious network performance testing, but I thought you would find it interesting:
