before reading the conclusions, we recommend to read the previous posts in this series if you want to know more details about the environment and the test scenarios: Introduction, Scenario 1, Scenario 2, Scenario 3. Conclusions It’s time to discuss all the results obtained so far. The table below show the average time expressed in seconds…
We have seen how to setup the benchmarking environment and two simple scenarios (Scenario 1, Scenario 2) in the previous blogposts of this series. This time we are going to add Hadoop to the mix to test a workload with significant memory, CPU and I/O impact. Scenario 3 The image used for this…
We talked about setting up the environment for benchmarking and we have seen in the previous part a simple OpenStack scenario. In this part we are going to continue by adding more complexity to the use case being tested. Scenario 2 In the second scenario a few intermediate steps have been added to increase the…
In the previous part of this OpenStack KVM vs Hyper-V compute benchmarking series we talked about how to setup the testing environment and how to run some scenarios. Time for some results! Scenario 1 To begin with, we started with a basic KVM vs Hyper-V scenario: Ask Nova to boot a VM Wait until Nova…
OpenStack Newton has been recently released. During this cycle we did quite some work on increasing the performance and overall reliability of our Windows and Hyper-V OpenStack compute drivers. This is the first post in a series where we are going to share some of our Hyper-V vs KVM benchmarking results for this OpenStack release, get…
OVS STT setup on Hyper-V without OpenStack
In this post we will explain how to configure manually a Open vSwitch STT tunnel between VMs running on Hyper-V and KVM hosts.
OVS GRE setup on Hyper-V without OpenStack
In this post we will explain how to configure manually a Open vSwitch GRE tunnel between VMs running on Hyper-V and KVM hosts.
OVS VXLAN setup on Hyper-V without OpenStack In the previous post we explained how to deploy Open vSwitch (OVS) on Hyper-V and integrate it into an OpenStack environment. In this second part we will explain how to configure manually a VXLAN tunnel between VMs running on Hyper-V and KVM hosts. KVM OVS configuration In this example,…
There’s quite some documentation already available on how to run Windows Nano Server on Hyper-V or bare metal, but what about other hypervisors? Here at Cloudbase Solutions we often need to build images for different platforms, so why not automate the process in a simple way for all relevant scenarios, including, to begin with: bare metal,…
