This document summarizes a presentation about evaluating the performance of the OpenStack Swift object storage system using the COSBench benchmark. Key points include:
- COSBench is an open source benchmark developed by Intel to measure the performance of cloud object storage services like OpenStack Swift and Amazon S3.
- A case study was conducted using COSBench to evaluate Swift performance on different hardware configurations and identify bottlenecks.
- The results showed that for small object operations the proxy CPU was the bottleneck, while for large object operations disk and network bandwidth were limiting factors.
- Going forward the presenter plans to support additional storage services with COSBench and make it more openly available to help optimize
