+# Sock Shop
+
+Sock Shop is a microservices demo platform which simulates a basic web shop selling socks.
+It consists out of 19 open-source microservices whose repositories can be found [here](https://github.com/microservices-demo)
+
+## Deployment
+Sock Shop can be deployed by executing the following steps on the master node:
+
+1. Clone the repository
+   ```git clone https://github.com/microservices-demo/microservices-demo```
+
+2. Setup the sock shop
+   1. ```cd microservices-demo```
+   1. ```kubectl create -f deploy/kubernetes/manifests-logging```
+   1. ```kubectl create -f deploy/kubernetes/manifests/sock-shop-ns.yaml -f deploy/kubernetes/manifests```
+
+After a few minutes the pods should all be running and the sock shop can be opened.
+
+The deployment includes:
+* The Sock Shop application
+* Two services providing basic load on the system (namespace load-test)
+* Partial implementation opentraces with zipkin
+
+## Exposed ports
+When deployed, the following ports are exposed on Kubernetes cluster nodes:
+* `30001` Sock Shop Front-End
+* `31002` Zipkin Opentraces

+# Workload for Sock Shop
+
+[Locust](http://locust.io/) is used as a workload generator for the Sock Shop.
+By default two locust services put a basic load on the system.
+There's no web interface for those two services and they somehow lack controllability.
+We therefore setup a different locust microservice with the default web UI.
+
+## Deployment
+Locust can be deployed by executing the following steps on the master node:
+   * delete the existing load setup
+   ```kubectl delete pods,services,deployments --all --namespace=load-test```
+   * setup the new locust microservice
+   ```kubectl create -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/spec-rgdevops/CASPA-platform/master/application/sockshop/workload/locust.yaml```
+
+## Exposed ports
+When deployed, the following ports are exposed on Kubernetes cluster nodes:
+* `31050` Locust web interface
+* `31051` Locust master p1
+* `31052` Locust master p2
