Stackdriver will show me disk IOPS and throughput for PD disks.

How do I measure disk latency?   I have a suspicion that a service is slow because of latency (my PD disks are operating well below their potential IOPS).

iostat does not seem to be installed on the COS nodes. 

Suggestions welcome

You can have CoreOS toolbox on GKE COS nodes: https://cloud.google.com/container-optimized-os/docs/how-to/toolbox

Just type "toolbox" when you SSH into the node.

That worked great - thanks for the clue stick.
