KVM and docker LXC Benchmarking with OpenStack - Comment

Passive benchmarking with docker LXC and KVM using OpenStack hosted in SoftLayer. These results provide initial incite as to why LXC as a technology choice offers benefits over traditional VMs and seek to provide answers as to the typical initial LXC question -- "why would I consider Linux Containers over VMs" from a performance perspective.

Results here provide insight as to:
- Cloudy ops times (start, stop, reboot) using OpenStack.
- Guest micro benchmark performance (I/O, network, memory, CPU).
- Guest micro benchmark performance of MySQL; OLTP read, read / write complex and indexed insertion.
- Compute node resource consumption; VM / Container density factors.
- Lessons learned during benchmarking.

The tests here were performed using OpenStack Rally to drive the OpenStack cloudy tests and various other linux tools to test the guest performance on a "micro level". The nova docker virt driver was used in the Cloud scenario to realize VMs as docker LXC containers and compared to the nova virt driver for libvirt KVM.

Please read the disclaimers in the presentation as this is only intended to be the "chip of the ice burg".

Topics covered in this presentation slides:


1. Passive Benchmarking with docker LXC, KVM & OpenStack Hosted @ SoftLayer Boden Russell (brussell@us.ibm.com) IBM Global Technology Services Advanced Cloud Solutions & Innovation V2.0
2. FAQ - How is this version (v2.0) different from the initial benchmarks? – See the revision history within this document. - Are there any artifacts associated with the test? – Yes; see my github repo: https://github.com/bodenr/cloudy-docker-kvm-bench - Do these results imply an LXC based technology replaces the need for traditional hypervisors? – In my opinion, traditional VMs will become the “edge case” moving forward for use cases which are currently based on Linux flavored VMs. However I believe there will still be cases for traditional VMs, some of which are detailed in the LXC Realization presentation. - Are these results scientific? – No. Disclaimers have been attached to any documentation related to these tests to indicate such. These tests are meant to be a set of “litmus” tests to gain an initial understanding of how LXC compares to traditional hypervisors specifically in the Cloud space. - Do you welcome comments / feedback on the test? – Yes; the goal of these tests is to educate the community on LXC based technologies vs traditional hypervisors. As such they are fully disclosed in complete and hence open to feedback of any kind. 5/11/2014 2Document v2.0
3. FAQ Continued - Should I act on these results? – I believe the results provide enough information to gain some interest. I expect any organization, group or individual considering actions as a result will perform their own validation to assert the technology choice is beneficial for their consumption prior to adoption. - Is further / deeper testing and investigation warranted? – Absolutely. These tests should be conducted in a more active manner to understand the root causes for any differences. Additional tests and variations are also needed including; various KVM disk cache modes, skinny VM images (i.e. JeOS), impacts of database settings, docker storage drivers, etc. - Is this a direct measurement of the hypervisor (KVM) or LXC engine (docker)? – No, many factors play into results. For example the compute node has the nova virt driver running which is obviously different in implementation between nova libvirt-kvm and nova docker. Thus it’s implementation *may* have an impact on the compute node metrics and performance. 5/11/2014 Document v2.0 3
4. Revision History Revision Overview of changes V1.0 - Initial document release V2.0 - All tests were re-run using a single docker image throughout the tests (see my Dockerfile). - As the result of an astute reader, the 15 VM serial “packing” test reflects VM boot overhead rather than steady- state; this version clarifies such claims. - A new Cloudy test was added to better understand steady-state CPU. - Rather than presenting direct claims of density, raw data and graphs are presented to let the reader draw their own conclusions. - Additional “in the guest” tests were performed including blogbench. 5/11/2014 Document v2.0 4
5. Why Linux Containers (LXC) - Fast – Runtime performance near bare metal speeds – Management operations (run, stop , start, etc.) in seconds / milliseconds - Agile – VM-like agility – it’s still “virtualization” – Seamlessly “migrate” between virtual and bare metal environments - Flexible – Containerize a “system” – Containerize “application(s)” - Lightweight – Just enough Operating System (JeOS) – Minimal per container penalty - Inexpensive – Open source – free – lower TCO – Supported with out-of-the-box modern Linux kernel - Ecosystem – Growing in popularity – Vibrant community & numerous 3rd party apps 5/11/2014 5Document v2.0

Hypervisors vs. Linux Containers Hardware Operating System Hypervisor Virtual Machine Operating System Bins / libs App App Virtual Machine Operating System Bins / libs App App Hardware Hypervisor Virtual Machine Operating System Bins / libs App App Virtual Machine Operating System Bins / libs App App Hardware Operating System Container Bins / libs App App Container Bins / libs App App Type 1 Hypervisor Type 2 Hypervisor Linux Containers 5/11/2014 6 Containers share the OS kernel of the host and thus are lightweight. However, each container must have the same OS kernel. Containers are isolated, but share OS and, where appropriate, libs / bins. Document v2.0

9. About This Benchmark - Use case perspective – As an OpenStack Cloud user I want a Ubuntu based VM with MySQL… Why would I choose docker LXC vs a traditional hypervisor? - OpenStack “Cloudy” perspective – LXC vs. traditional VM from a Cloudy (OpenStack) perspective – VM operational times (boot, start, stop, snapshot) – Compute node resource usage (per VM penalty); density factor - Guest runtime perspective – CPU, memory, file I/O, MySQL OLTP, etc. - Why KVM? – Exceptional performance DISCLAIMERS The tests herein are semi-active litmus tests – no in depth tuning, analysis, etc. More active testing is warranted. These results do not necessary reflect your workload or exact performance nor are they guaranteed to be statistically sound. 5/11/2014 9Document v2.0

67. Other Observations - Micro “synthetic” benchmarks do not reflect macro “application” performance – Always benchmark your “real” workload - Nova-docker virt driver still under development – Great start, but additional features needed for parity (python anyone?) – Additions to the nova-docker driver could change Cloudy performance - Docker LXC is still under development – Docker has not yet released v1.0 for production readiness - KVM images can be made skinnier, but requires additional effort - Increased density / oversubscription imposes additional complexity – Techniques to handle resource consumption surges which exceed capacity 5/11/2014 Document v2.0 67
