PerfKit Benchmarker is a Python tool that automates running a canonical set of benchmarks across cloud providers like GCP, AWS, and Azure. It provisions VMs, installs benchmark workloads, and reports metrics such as latency, throughput, and IOPS for fair cross-cloud comparison.
Use cases
- compare performance of aws vs gcp vs azure vms
- benchmark cloud instance types with consistent defaults
- measure cloud network throughput between providers
- automate end-to-end cloud provisioning and benchmark runs
- measure disk iops and latency on cloud storage
- benchmark on-premises hardware against cloud offerings
When to choose
- you need standardized, untuned benchmarks for fair multi-cloud comparison
- you want fully automated provisioning, installation, and execution of benchmark suites
- you need metrics like peak performance, latency, throughput, and time-to-provision across providers
When to avoid
- you need deeply tuned, vendor-specific performance benchmarks
- you only want to benchmark a single local machine without cloud resources
- you cannot accept the licenses of the underlying benchmark tools it wraps
