Sahara provides a way to build Big Data as a Service on OpenStack, but there are many options and considerations. This presentation introduces our work on benchmarking various solutions, including VM vs. container vs bare-metal, HDFS vs. Swift, and a few others. This was conducted on latest Intel hardware platforms and will provide insights into maturity of BDaaS on OpenStack.
