CPU Benchmarking of AWS Firecracker microVMs, Docker containers and VMs using Sysbench.

Sysbench CPU Benchmarking

Scripts to run Sysbench tests, parse results to create visualizations, and obtain inferences.

Checklist of Tasks

1. Run tests on bare-metal server with 32 logical cores. (Vary max-prime and number of threads)
2. Define metrics for output
   • events per second
   • total number of events
   • avg latency (ms)
   • avg number of events per thread
3. Visualize results for bare-metal server
4. Repeat experiments for an environment inside a Docker container.
5. Repeat experiments for an environment inside a Firecracker microVM.

1. Observations on a Firecracker microVM (4 and 30 logical cores)

1.1 Comparison between # of cores assigned

1.2 Base observations

2. Observations on a Bare-metal Server (32 logical cores)
