Wido den Hollander commented on CLOUDSTACK-1301: ------------------------------------------------ Forgot this one: http://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#iotune So there is blkiotune and iotune, where we probably want iotune: "Currently, the only tuning available is Block I/O throttling for qemu." So that is handled in user-space which is better then kernel space where cgroups live. cgroups also only work with regular block devices and files, while iotune also works with RBD and such. > VM I/O Throttling > ----------------- > > Key: CLOUDSTACK-1301 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-1301 > Project: CloudStack > Issue Type: New Feature > Security Level: Public(Anyone can view this level - this is the > default.) > Affects Versions: 4.0.0 > Reporter: Wei Zhou > > VM I/O Throttling, to set the maximum disk I/O rate of VMs. > Virtual machines are running on the same storage device (local storage or > share strage). Because of the rate limitation of device (such as iops), if > one VM has large disk operation, it may affect the disk performance of other > VMs running on the same storage device. > It is neccesary to set the maximum rate and limit the disk I/O of VMs. > More details: > https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLOUDSTACK/VM+IO+Throttling -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
