Follow @mikelangelo_eu Introduction If you read our previous post on sKVM, you know that I/O performance is the main source of overhead in virtualized environments today. In the world of virtualization, all hypervisors suffer from reduced I/O throughput, and KVM is no exception. So the result is that people who have I/O intensive workloads tend to…
Full-stack cloud-scale instrumentation? It’s a snap…
Follow @mikelangelo_eu A key goal of the MIKELANGELO project is to improve I/O performance for both Cloud and HPC workloads. Partners are working hard to enhance hypervisors (sKVM), Guest OSes (OSv), Middleware (e.g. Torque, OpenStack, package management), and hosted applications (e.g. by leveraging Seastar). If you cannot measure it, you cannot improve it - Lord…
