| You may remember my previous article about high-performance I/O for cloud databases, where I tested out the Silk Platform and got a single Azure VM to do over 5 GB/s (gigaBytes/s) of I/O for my large database query workload. The magic was in using iSCSI over the switched cloud compute network to multiple "data VMs" at the virtualized storage layer for high I/O throughput and scalability. Well, the Silk folks are at it again and Chris Buckel (@flashdba) just sent me screenshots of similar test runs using the latest Azure "v5" instance as the single large database node and they achieved over 10 GB/s scanning rate for reads and 6 GB/s write rate with large I/Os! - Linux, Oracle, SQL performance tuning and troubleshooting training & writing.
