How to Benchmark and Tune Google Cloud
What's this blog post about?
Google Cloud Platform (GCP) can be optimized for workloads by using performance benchmarking tools like PerfKit Benchmarker, which measures end-to-end time to provision resources in the cloud. The tool reports on standard peak performance metrics such as latency, throughput, time-to-complete, and IOPS. Additionally, reading benchmarking research from Cockroach Labs can help users make informed decisions when choosing a cloud provider. Evaluating workloads before configuring GCP is also important, as default configurations may not be ideal for all types of machines or workloads.
