In this April 2016 session, Red Hat's Brent Compton and Kyle Bader compared the performance of MySQL on public and private clouds with a head-to-head look at (a) MySQL on Amazon AWS EBS, (b) MySQL on Amazon AWS EBS Provisioned IOPS, (c) MySQL on an OpenStack/Ceph private cloud (SuperMicro HDD-based Ceph storage), (d) MySQL on an OpenStack/Ceph private cloud (SuperMicro all-flash Ceph storage), and (e) MySQL on a single bare metal SuperMicro server (baseline).

3. AGENDA
MySQL on Ceph MySQL in the Cloud
Head-to-Head Performance Lab
• MySQL on Ceph vs. AWS
• Head-to-head: Performance
• Head-to-head: Price/performance
• IOPS performance nodes for Ceph
• Why MySQL on Ceph
• Ceph Architecture
• Tuning: MySQL on Ceph
• HW Architectural Considerations

4. MySQL on Ceph vs. AWS

5. • Shared, elastic storage pool
• Dynamic DB placement
• Flexible volume resizing
• Live instance migration
• Backup to object pool
• Read replicas via copy-on-write snapshots
MySQL ON CEPH STORAGE CLOUD
OPS EFFICIENCY

6. MYSQL-ON-CEPH PRIVATE CLOUD
FIDELITY TO A MYSQL-ON-AWS EXPERIENCE
• Hybrid cloud requires public/private cloud commonalities
• Developers want DevOps consistency
• Elastic block storage, Ceph RBD vs. AWS EBS
• Elastic object storage, Ceph RGW vs. AWS S3
• Users want deterministic performance

7. HEAD-TO-HEAD
PERFORMANCE
30 IOPS/GB: AWS EBS P-IOPS TARGET

UNDERSTANDING THE WORKLOAD
Traditional Ceph Workload
• $/GB
• PBs
• Unstructured data
• MB/sec
MySQL Ceph Workload
• $/IOP
• TBs
• Structured data
• IOPS

26. ARCHITECTURAL CONSIDERATIONS
FUNDAMENTALLY DIFFERENT DESIGN
Traditional Ceph Workload
• 50-300+ TB per server
• Magnetic Media (HDD)
• Low CPU-core:OSD ratio
• 10GbE->40GbE
MySQL Ceph Workload
• < 10 TB per server
• Flash (SSD -> NVMe)
• High CPU-core:OSD ratio
• 10GbE
