Alternatives for benchmarking

AzCopy Bench

Microsoft's official CLI tool for Azure Storage performance benchmarking. Ideal for automated testing, CI/CD pipelines, and high-throughput scenarios where you need precise control over test parameters.

Auto-tuning

Automatically optimizes parallel TCP connections for maximum throughput

In-memory test data

Generates test files entirely in memory, no disk usage

Upload benchmark examples

Basic upload benchmark:

azcopy bench "https://[account].blob.core.windows.net/[container]?[SAS]"

High-throughput test (100 files × 2 GB each):

azcopy bench "https://[account].blob.core.windows.net/[container]?[SAS]" \
  --file-count 100 --size-per-file 2G

Test data is automatically deleted after the benchmark completes. Use --delete-test-data=false to preserve files.
