3 Introduc>on What is IaaS Commodity base resources User self service consumable resource Consist of Resources (Storage/Compute/Network) Management SoTware IaaS Nature Distributed / Inter- related Virtualiza>on - KVM

4 Objec>ve Understanding of behavior of VM in KVM hypervisor Benchmark the performance of VM Overhead / Isola>on / Variances Determine the performance factor Understanding design decision

5 Methodologies Benchmark VM s Processor, Memory, Storage and Network. Guest OS Behavior (Micro Level) Overhead Virtualiza>on Overhead Variance The Effects of more VM resides in a single physical Isola>on or Fairness Obeserva>on of VM in isolated container. Applica>on Specific Behavior (Macro Level) Overhead/variance/Isola>on of Java & MySQL

21 Discussion CPU Good results for all metrics. Memory Shows bad variance. Disk disk I/O bonleneck. High overhead very bad distribu>on of variance and fairness. Tiobench it gives fluctuate results. Disk performs bener in Para- virtualiza>on Applica>on Applica>on specific benchmark result, does not reflect bad CPU, memory and storage performance.

22 Discussion Overhead CPU & Memory gives low overhead Provisioning decision based on Bare Metal Vs. Virtualiza>on Applica>on specific scenarios (Grid/Rendering/Web) Variance More load (VM s) affects overall performance Fairness/Isola>on Behavioral understanding of KVM hypervisor

23 Summary What we gain? KVM specific behavior Important role of VM scheduling Storage plays important role Future Work Different benchmarking methodology Focus on values anain from tes>ng Determine performance improvements weight age (%) Hardware choice SoTware stacks (virtualiza>on/libraries) Host OS (Kernel&TCP parameters tweaking /OS choices Different I/O Scheduler

24 Summary Hypervisor specific results KVM (Vir>o devices) Investment on hardware or sotware stack? Which area contribute to increase the performance and larger capacity? Variance & isola>on issues, makes scheduling policy a crucial component.
