In an implementation, a system includes a simulation engine that is executable to simulate actions performed by a plurality of devices in a distributed system. The system also includes a plurality of pluggable device models that are accessible by the simulation engine via an interface. Each of the device models represents one of the devices and is configured to map a cost of performing at least one of the actions to an action latency by the corresponding device.
