How full on do you want to go? I have some benchmark kits that can easily be enhanced to work with ubuntu, it should just be a matter of checking /etc/redaht-release and the ubuntu equivalent and running apt instead of yum. I was thinking I could do the testing on the RPM based systems and the other contributor could run on deb? We can share scripts / tuning / recommendations and at the end of this could have nice setup / benchmark kits that work on a variety of OSs + the DOC we are looking for. The tool uses IOZone, smallfile, and fio, runs the tool N # of times to get sample set, and does some statistical analysis on the samples(avg, std dev, delta between samples) before moving on to the next test. > Should we look into arranging some OnMetal stuff, in addition to the > VM offerings? I have all the BM numbers we can handle, happy to provide them. 1G, 10G, RDMA, spinning and SSDs. I will be rerunning everything with the mt epoll + RDMA changes also. > > Jesse, Ben is our *very best* GlusterFS and RHS performance tuning > expert, so capturing his interest is a *very* good thing. ;) A little overstated but the sentiment is appreciated :) > > + Justin > > On 17 Feb 2015, at 23:10, Benjamin Turner <bennyturns@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > This is interesting to me, I'd like the chance to run my performance tests > > on a cloud provider's systems.
