Benchmarking as a Service (BaaS)

As a cloud administrator, monitoring resource usage while running the cloud infrastructure is necessary, but not sufficient. Monitoring helps to identify the possible reasons for a resource's congestion that would trigger a custom alert so that the issues can be immediately resolved. However, that won't be the end of the process. Monitoring data from certain events should be kept as a reference to help you to understand the trend of the cloud's performance. Gathering performance measurements before going to production does not seem a simple exercise, since workloads cannot be predictable at the first run. For this matter, we will need to adopt an approach that ensures an accurate performance measurement. Before tackling this topic, we will first need to identify the required performance areas. Availability, response time, latency...
