Google announced PerfKit Benchmarker and Perfkit Explorer, which are open source tools (ASLv2 license) they developed with help from over 30 researchers, cloud service providers, and other corporations.
We wanted to make the evaluation of cloud performance easy, so we collected input from other cloud providers, analysts, and experts from academia. The result is a cloud performance benchmarking framework called PerfKit Benchmarker. PerfKit is unique because it measures the end to end time to provision resources in the cloud, in addition to reporting on the most standard metrics of peak performance. You'll now have a way to easily benchmark across cloud platforms, while getting a transparent view of application throughput, latency, variance, and overhead.
We created a visualization tool, Perfkit Explorer, to help you interpret the results. We’re including a set of pre-built dashboards, along with data from actual network performance internal tests. This way, you'll be able to play with the PerfKit Explorer without having to first input your data.
