Performance Testing Framework

The purpose of Performance Testing Framework is to test the performance of AzCopy operations. It currently supports azcopy copy upload/S2S/download transfer.

However, it can be easily integrated with other applications by modifying run_azcopy.sh.

Getting started

Step 1: Run the following command to get started

bash prerequisite.sh -n "$number_of_files" -e "$number_of_entities_per_level" -p "$path_location_A"

The script first downloads all the available AzCopy binaries

bash download_azcopy_binaries.sh

Then, the script starts creating the location A (source, local) which will be common for all AzCopy upload operations.

Step 2: Running Collator

bash collator.sh -p "$path_location_A" -s "$sas_validity_in_hrs" -o "copy/sync"

The framework uses SAS as a form of authentication. The SAS validity can be set by user depending upon the size of transfer.

Collator has an array of AzCopy version versions=("10.5.1" "10.7.0") which is used to define the versions we're trying to compare. For every version in the versions array, collator performs following operations :

bash azcopy_copy_loop.sh -p "$path" -s "$sas_validity_in_hrs" -v "$version"
bash cleanup.sh -v "$version"

Step 3 Understanding the output format

The output of each AzCopy operation will be redirected in a txt file: performance_{upload/download/s2s}_{copy/sync}_{random_task_id}-{azcopy_version}.txt"
