# A/B Testing
# Istio A/B Testing
This guide shows you how to automate A/B testing with Flagger.
This guide shows you how to automate A/B testing with Istio and Flagger.
Besides weighted routing, Flagger can be configured to route traffic to the canary based on HTTP match conditions.
In an A/B testing scenario, you'll be using HTTP headers or cookies to target a certain segment of your users.

# App Mesh Canary Deployments
This guide shows you how to use App Mesh and Flagger to automate canary deployments.
Create a mesh called `global` in the `appmesh-system` namespace:
```bash
export REPO=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/weaveworks/flagger/master
kubectl apply -f ${REPO}/artifacts/appmesh/global-mesh.yaml
```
Create a test namespace with App Mesh sidecar injection enabled:
```bash
kubectl apply -f ${REPO}/artifacts/namespaces/test.yaml
```
Create a deployment and a horizontal pod autoscaler:
```bash
kubectl apply -f ${REPO}/artifacts/appmesh/deployment.yaml
kubectl apply -f ${REPO}/artifacts/appmesh/hpa.yaml
```
Deploy the load testing service to generate traffic during the canary analysis:
```bash
helm upgrade -i flagger-loadtester flagger/loadtester \
--namespace=test \
--set meshName=global.appmesh-system \
--set backends[0]=frontend.test
```
Create a canary custom resource:
```yaml
apiVersion: flagger.app/v1alpha3
kind: Canary
metadata:
name: podinfo
namespace: test
spec:
# deployment reference
targetRef:
apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
name: podinfo
# the maximum time in seconds for the canary deployment
# to make progress before it is rollback (default 600s)
progressDeadlineSeconds: 60
# HPA reference (optional)
autoscalerRef:
apiVersion: autoscaling/v2beta1
kind: HorizontalPodAutoscaler
name: podinfo
service:
# container port
port: 9898
# App Mesh reference
meshName: global.appmesh-system
# define the canary analysis timing and KPIs
canaryAnalysis:
# schedule interval (default 60s)
interval: 10s
# max number of failed metric checks before rollback
threshold: 10
# max traffic percentage routed to canary
# percentage (0-100)
maxWeight: 50
# canary increment step
# percentage (0-100)
stepWeight: 5
# App Mesh Prometheus checks
metrics:
- name: envoy_cluster_upstream_rq
# minimum req success rate (non 5xx responses)
# percentage (0-100)
threshold: 99
interval: 1m
# external checks (optional)
webhooks:
- name: load-test
url: http://flagger-loadtester.test/
timeout: 5s
metadata:
cmd: "hey -z 1m -q 10 -c 2 http://podinfo.test:9898/"
```
Save the above resource as podinfo-canary.yaml and then apply it:
```bash
kubectl apply -f ./podinfo-canary.yaml
```
After a couple of seconds Flagger will create the canary objects:
```bash
# applied
deployment.apps/podinfo
horizontalpodautoscaler.autoscaling/podinfo
canary.flagger.app/podinfo
# generated Kubernetes objects
deployment.apps/podinfo-primary
horizontalpodautoscaler.autoscaling/podinfo-primary
service/podinfo
service/podinfo-canary
service/podinfo-primary
# generated App Mesh objects
virtualnode.appmesh.k8s.aws/podinfo
virtualnode.appmesh.k8s.aws/podinfo-canary
virtualnode.appmesh.k8s.aws/podinfo-primary
virtualservice.appmesh.k8s.aws/podinfo.test
```
Trigger a canary deployment by updating the container image:
```bash
kubectl -n test set image deployment/podinfo \
podinfod=quay.io/stefanprodan/podinfo:1.4.1
```
Flagger detects that the deployment revision changed and starts a new rollout:
```text
kubectl -n test describe canary/podinfo
Status:
Canary Weight: 0
Failed Checks: 0
Phase: Succeeded
Events:
Type Reason Age From Message
---- ------ ---- ---- -------
Normal Synced 3m flagger New revision detected podinfo.test
Normal Synced 3m flagger Scaling up podinfo.test

Warning Synced 15s flagger Waiting for podinfo-primary.test rollout to finish: 1 of 2 updated replicas are available
Normal Synced 5s flagger Promotion completed! Scaling down podinfo.test
```
**Note** that if you apply new changes to the deployment during the canary analysis, Flagger will restart the analysis.
You can monitor all canaries with:
```bash
watch kubectl get canaries --all-namespaces
NAMESPACE NAME STATUS WEIGHT LASTTRANSITIONTIME
test podinfo Progressing 15 2019-03-16T14:05:07Z
prod frontend Succeeded 0 2019-03-15T16:15:07Z
prod backend Failed 0 2019-03-14T17:05:07Z
```
During the canary analysis you can generate HTTP 500 errors to test if Flagger pauses the rollout.
Exec into the load tester pod with:
```bash
kubectl -n test exec -it flagger-loadtester-xx-xx sh
```
Generate HTTP 500 errors:
```bash
hey -z 1m -c 5 -q 5 http://podinfo.test:9898/status/500
```
When the number of failed checks reaches the canary analysis threshold, the traffic is routed back to the primary,
the canary is scaled to zero and the rollout is marked as failed.
```text
kubectl -n test describe canary/podinfo
