Storage performance is becoming much more important. KVM io_uring attempts to bring the I/O performance of a virtual machine on almost the same level of bare metal. Apache CloudStack has support for io_uring since version 4.16. Wido will show the difference in performance io_uring brings to the table.

During the years Wido became a contributor, a PMC member and he was a VP of the project for a year. He is one of our most active members, who puts a lot of efforts to keep the project active and transform it into a turnkey solution for cloud builders.

Boosting I/O Performance with KVM io_uring

Dimsi have developed a backup solution for Virtual Machines based on KVM hypervisors. Every layer of the product uses Open Source libraries or components (Python, VueJS, Celery, Borg Backup, Redis, Socketio, Flask). There is no agent needed on the VMs. Dimsi have implemented a feature to group the hosts based on their use (CloudStack Hosts or Management Hosts) and apply specific policies to the groups. In the CloudStack context, this product can help you backup and restore all your VMs easily if the hypervisors are KVM-based. Moreover, restoring the VMs is effortless because KVM and CloudStack use the same id for the VM disks, so no need to hack the database to match them.
Quentin Roccia : Senior DevOps engineer, Cloud enabler Quentin is in charge of DIMSI custom developments on top of Apache Cloudtack deployment : customer portal, backup solutions. On a daily basis, he helps our customers to build and improve Devops strategy, including GitLab, Cloudstack APIs and Python devs. Quentin is the main contributor of KVM backup solution &nbsp; Joffrey Luangsaysana : Senior Cloud engineer, Plateform specialist Joffrey is responsible of our core plateform, including compute, storage, networking, and Apache Cloudstack services. He is focused on providing maximum performances and uptime to our customer, and dedicated to guarantee fast and reliable customer VM&rsquo;s backup.

In recent years, some of Leaseweb&rsquo;s customers complained about the router VM resource usage and its availability. This made the company think that it would be nice to expose router VM statistics to the customers using the Prometheus format. In that way, they can set up their monitoring system and have more visibility over their network. Although it is still under development, Leaseweb thought it would be nice to discuss the project with the community members and gather feedback.
