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, 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.
