Task Description: "Develop a way to run 1000s of context agents (or some process posing as a context agent) to test the scalability of the service."


Context Broker Component
------------------------

We need to dynamically create a Nimbus Context Broker dedicated for each scalability harness runs.

? What time measurements to make? (Time it takes for all ctx-agents to complete)


ctx-agent Component
-------------------

    * run 1000+ ctx-agent instances
    * need to provide fake EC2 meta-data
    * Each ctx-agent instance will be identified by a (fake) IP adress


cloud client Component

    * Need to use version "cloud-client-014". Need to set an environment variable with its path.
    * cloud client "--extrahelp" flag: --broker-url <URL>   &   --broker-id <DN>
    * cloud client wrapper code:http://ooici.net:82/?p=cpe.git;a=blob;f=cpe/provisioner/context.py
    * cloud client wrapper example usage at http://ooici.net:82/?p=cpe.git;a=blob;f=cpe/provisioner/ec2.py#l56
