Evaluation and research of the virtualization performance of cloud platforms

The study described that the virtualization technique is the key to implementation of a cloud platform and the virtualization performance is an important criterion for measurement of a cloud platform's performance. To evaluate and study the virtualization performance of cloud platforms, a virtualization performance evaluation model was established, and it was used to test the virtual machine's performance and loss, the virtual resource allocation and the virtual machine's stability of the cloud platforms of UCloud and Baidu Open. The analysis of the testing results show that the evaluation model can accurately measure the virtualization performance of the cloud platforms UCloud and Baidu Open. The evaluation model can be applicable to evaluation of other cloud platforms, virtualization performance.
