This research effort used real-world service simulation methodologies to investigate the latency performance of distributed storage systems, namely amazon simple storage service (s3). The researcher used amazon s3's distributed storage systems as the independent variable, the latency performance of services as the dependent variable, and the real service simulation approach as the mediating variable. To get performance data that was typical of a wide range of workloads, a quantitative research approach was used, and system random sampling was used as well. The simulation model was able to mimic real-world scenarios, such uploading, retrieving, and deleting items, by employing a broad variety of object sizes and concurrency levels. The average response time, distribution, and tail latency were used to figure out delay. This was done so that time could be measured. This was done to tell the difference between delays that are normal and those that are important. Researchers found that larger items and more simultaneous access caused latency to go up, whereas smaller things had response times that were more stable across different locations. Based on the evidence, this was the conclusion that was made. To better understand how amazon supply service 3 works, real service simulation methods were employed. These methods precisely replicated the parameters observed in the real world. This study has significantly enhanced understanding of the efficiency of distributed storage by introducing fresh information. These findings validate approaches aimed at enhancing operations conducted via cloud computing.
