When running a ftbfs run on both euca and openstack I started to see some pretty big differences in performance. CPU and mem were all the same or close enough so I decided to look at disk performance.

euca is backed by local disks in a raid/lvm layout and/or exported via iscsi through the Storage Controller.

openstack is using a replicated/distributed gluster for all disk back ends - including ephemeral (local) and volume-backed (iscsi)

Results are here and are kinda staggering:

in short - gluster performance really bogs us down for building in the cloud instances.

thoughts on improving that performance or do we simply want to have certain workloads in euca specifically b/c the disks are more disposable and/or faster?

A few thoughts - and bear in mind that i don't have an entirely optimal understanding of everything here ;) so I have no idea how much of this may apply...

- AIUI gluster can be less than optimal for lots of small writes - esp. when doing replication - I don't know if you have looked at all of the translators, there are a few performance/write translators that can help improve this.

- If this stuff is on a LAN that is slow/bogged down/not operating at Full Pipe Speedz then that could cause suckage (depending on ... things?? just recalling vague things in my brain... could be worth a shot.)

Anyway, I'm forwarding on to the gluster folks (john mark, eco, jeff, kaleb) in the hopes they might be able to help fine-tune things; I know that john mark has been curious about how things are going anyhow.
