We can't just stop the time when the machine decides to schedule= another container/vm. I briefly checked the public bare-metal offerings li= ke rackspace but these are most probably not sufficient either because (unl= ess I'm wrong) they only give you a machine but it is not guaranteed that i= t will be the same machine the next time. If we are to compare the results = we don't need just the same model, we really need the very same machine. An= y change to the machine might lead to a significant difference (disk replac= ement, even firmware update...). Do you have a suggested bare metal setup? I think it's more complicated than having a single bare metal host. It could involve a network boot server, a network traffic generator machine for external network iperf testing, etc. What is the minimal environment needed for bare metal hosts?
