+# Benchmark
+The 'benchmark.sh' script creates secrets that can be used for benchmarking Infrastructure Manager.
+
+## Usage
+
+In order to use it, call `./hack/benchmark/benchmark.sh {number_of_secrets_to_generate) {path_to_secret_template)`
+
+The script generates the `/tmp/input_{currentdateandtime}.json` input file containing a list of runtimeIDs of the generated secrets:
+``` json
+[
+  "AB65AB53-7B0A-481C-A472-349B4947D50D",
+  "C212033F-A5F8-416F-BF9C-E735A37D4B0E",
+  "2FFAEDD5-EE90-40F4-955D-DA5493F98263",
+  "C4E7015A-A79A-457D-A5BC-782D8E614568",
+  "70607990-5581-445F-A4D1-2AC9C845DB19",

+
+The example usage that generates 10 secrets and applies them using kubectl `./hack/benchmark/benchmark.sh 10 ./hack/benchmark/secret.template.json | kubectl apply -f -`
