Boyan Krosnov, CPO of StorPool presents what are the key tests you need to perform on your cloud environment to analyze its storage performance. Thanks to his experience in building storage solutions for some of the world’s most demanding clouds, his team at StorPool has created a robust, yet simple performance tests framework for benchmarking data storage system performance.
The framework uses a number of easy-to-run tools/tests, including FIO, rsync, pgbench, sysbench and more. It also covers how to read the results you get and reference values one expects to get. Weighted by price and price/performance, allows one to take valuable data-driven decisions on improving application and cloud performance.
During this part of the presentation, StorPool dissects the block storage offerings of four leading public clouds – Amazon AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure and Digital Ocean and will compare them against two StorPool-based clouds. All systems in the tests are production ones – 5 public clouds and 1 private. And all but one of the systems (StorPool’s internal private cloud) are part of generally available public cloud offerings, so the results are easily reproducible.
