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…
