Benchmarking OpenStack at scale

Early better than late! This is what cloud operators should keep in mind when verifying the functional anomalies of the OpenStack private cloud at an early stage. In distributed computing systems, every circulated request incurs a performance hit. That represents obviously, several challenges to be able systematically to measure performance across all installed OpenStack components. Among those challenges is the inability to perform sophisticated tests in an easy and automated way to bring realistic and accurate measurement results. Additionally, with the continuous growth of the OpenStack ecosystem and the integration of more incubated projects, it will be hard to keep the initial setup up and running and prevent events of performance degradation without defining since the beginning a verification process which ensures that your cloud environment is in a good shape whatever workload...
