AWS Storage Benchmarks

A collection of automated storage performance benchmarking tools for AWS. All tools are pure Python (boto3) — no AWS CLI required, cross-platform (macOS/Linux/Windows).

Benchmarks

Tool	What It Tests	Key Metrics
s3-benchmark	S3 Standard vs Express One Zone	Latency (4KB-8MB), Throughput (1GB multipart/range)
ebs-benchmark	EBS volume types (gp3, io2, etc.)	IOPS, Throughput, Latency (via fio)

How They Work

1. You run the script on your laptop
2. Script provisions EC2 + storage resources in AWS
3. Benchmark executes on EC2 via SSM (no SSH needed)
4. HTML + JSON reports download to your machine
5. All resources auto-cleaned (even on crash/interrupt)

Quick Start

pip install boto3

# S3 benchmark
cd s3-benchmark && python run_benchmark.py

# EBS benchmark
cd ebs-benchmark && python ebs-bench.py --region us-east-2

Prerequisites

• Python 3.8+
• boto3
• AWS credentials with admin permissions
