Quantifying the Performance Isolation Properties of Virtualization Systems
Overview In recent years, there have been a number of papers comparing the performance of different virtualization environments for x86. These comparisons have typically quantified the overhead of virtualization for one VM compared to a base OS. In this paper, the authors present the design of a performance isolation benchmark that quantifies the impact on well-behaved VMs of various categories of extreme resource consumption in a misbehaving VM. The test suite includes six different stress tests - a CPU intensive test, a memory intensive test, a disk intensive test, two network intensive tests (send and receive) and a fork bomb.
