How to start the load generator when deploying in a Kubernetes cluster?

These are the steps I have followed:

• started a minikube cluster (checked it's running)
• applied the deploy.yaml file by running

kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/aws-containers/retail-store-sample-app/main/dist/kubernetes/deploy.yaml
kubectl wait --for=condition=available deployments --all

• started the load generator pod by following the steps here

apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
  name: load-generator
spec:
  containers:
  - name: artillery
    image: artilleryio/artillery:2.0.0-31
    args:
    - "run"
    - "-t"
    - "http://ui.ui.svc"
    - "/scripts/scenario.yml"
    volumeMounts:
    - name: scripts
      mountPath: /scripts
  initContainers:
  - name: setup
    image: public.ecr.aws/aws-containers/retail-store-sample-utils:load-gen.0.3.0
    command:
    - bash
    args:
    - -c
    - "cp /artillery/* /scripts"
    volumeMounts:
    - name: scripts
      mountPath: "/scripts"
  volumes:
  - name: scripts
    emptyDir: {}
EOF

• ran the bash script bash src/load-generator/scripts/run.sh

It seems that the load is not being generated as I have run the micro-service (also the load-generator pod) for more than 5 hours now and the ui deployment log file has only ~70 lines with timestamps of the lines corresponding to the deployment start time.

Could someone tell me what files I have to edit to generate the load using the load generator pod that I created? @niallthomson
