Generate Mock CPU and Memory Metrics in Python
Build a mock_host_metrics() generator that outputs realistic CPU and memory usage percentages for monitoring demos and tests.
import time
import random
def mock_host_metrics():
"""Generate mock CPU and memory metrics for a host."""
cpu_percent = round(random.uniform(10.0, 95.0), 1)
memory_percent = round(random.uniform(20.0, 90.0), 1)
memory_used_mb = round(random.uniform(512, 8192), 1)

This code implements an in-memory key-value mock of a baggage context, letting you set, get, check, and delete keys for tracing-style metadata.
class BaggageContext:
def __init__(self):
self._store = {}
def set(self, key, value):
self._store[key] = value
return value
def get(self, key, default=None):
return self._store.get(key, default)
def has(self, key):
return key in self._store
