Zeroing In on Cloud Storage Performance with dd

·47 words·1 min · Download pdf

Tip: Did you mounted storage from cloud and wondering how fast is it? You can measure the performance of storage you are on using this little command:

dd if=/dev/zero of=a count=1024 bs=1024

ps: this creates a file named ‘a’ of size 1MB, so delete it afterward.
