Time to do some digging…
I’ve been getting my test harness and reporting tools setup for some performance baselining that I’m doing relative to cloud computing providers and when I left the office on Friday I set off a test that was uploading a collection of binary files (NetCDF files if you care) to an Azure container. I was doing nothing fancy… looping through a directory, for each file found, upload to the container using the defaults for BlobBlock and then record the duration (start/finish) for that file and the file size. The source directory contained 144 files representing roughly 58 GB of data. 32 of the files were roughly 1.5 GB each and the remainder were about 92.5 MB.

AtomPub, JSON, Azure, and Large Datasets
UPDATE 8/20/2009, 15:29 EST: There is some confusing content in this post (i.e. Azure storage doesn’t support JSON). A follow up to this post with further explanation/detail is available here

Common API Set for Cloud Storage?
I’m working on a project which has as one of its goals the “publishing” of some very large datasets (order of 1PB) to the “cloud” for consumption by the general populous for use in scientific research. Rather than designing/inventing our own API, our decision has been to provide an interface consistent with the APIs produced by some of the leading cloud storage providers. Our goal would be that if someone is already used to/has tooling to working with cloud data sources such as Amazon’s S3 service or Microsoft’s Azure Blob storage, those same tools/experiences should directly apply by simply changing the http endpoint.
