Episode 84 — IOPS and Read/Write Performance Metrics
This episode explains Input/Output Operations Per Second (IOPS) and how it measures the performance capability of storage systems. We detail how read and write operations differ in performance characteristics, and how workload types influence the IOPS requirement. Throughput and latency are also covered as key metrics that must be evaluated alongside IOPS to ensure optimal performance.
We also explore how cloud providers specify and guarantee IOPS, and how to match these specifications to workload demands in the planning phase. For the Cloud+ exam, you’ll need to interpret performance metrics to make storage provisioning decisions. Produced by BareMetalCyber.com, where you’ll find more cyber prepcasts, books, and information to strengthen your certification path.
