Measuring Performance in the Cloud - A Scientific Approach to an Elastic Problem

Discover a scientific approach to measuring cloud performance in this comprehensive talk. Learn to evaluate cloud resources using a methodology developed by Dell and Red Hat, and gain insights into setting up multiple instances of a Dell and Red Hat Cloud Solution powered by Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform 7. Explore performance tuning tips gathered from running the SPEC IaaS 2016 benchmark, and understand the importance of representative methods for measuring, analyzing, and characterizing cloud solution performance. Delve into topics such as cloud benchmarking tools, application instances, baseline testing, service level agreements, data extraction and collection, dashboarding with Ganglia, performance characterization, provisioning time, network I/O and utilization, CPU characterization, and traditional tuning techniques. Gain valuable knowledge on instances, subscriptions, local storage, CPU pinning, dedicated disks, and memory usage to optimize your cloud infrastructure.
