- Data is stored using instance storage, which is ideal for automated testing, but not for running a real repository.
- Performed testing with storing content on EBS, but no significant integration with Fedora.
- Conducted a simple performance measure by running the ConfigB system tests on Fedora servers which were identical except for the storage location, using instance storage, S3, or EBS as the location to write objects and datastreams. Results specify the time required to run the ConfigB test suite.
- Instance Storage: 7 min 12 sec
- S3 Storage: 17 min 59 sec
- EBS Storage: 6 min 45 sec
Scalability Testing
- Created a simple test to perform a continuous ingest of objects into Fedora. The goal of this test is to determine how many objects can be ingested before the system fails, and determine what that failure point is.
- The test was run on a medium-size, high-CPU EC2 instance. The MySQL database was on the 10GB OS partition, Fedora ran on the 350GB /mnt partition, and the results file was written to a mounted EBS volume. The test ended when MySQL ran out of disk space. About 16 million objects were ingested during the test.
