What's the Best Cloud? Probably GCP
I am not sure about the technical merit of this link. Best of show:<p>&quot;Google probably has the best networking technology on the planet.&quot;<p>How do we quantify this?<p>&quot;This is important for several reasons. On EC2, if a node has a hardware problem, it will likely mean that you&#x27;ll need to restart your virtual machine.&quot;<p>I would much rather create a service that can tolerate single node outages than relying on &quot;live migrations&quot;. I am not sure what he meant by the SSD comparison, Amazon EBS that can be SSD but still it is a network mounted storage.<p>&quot;Most of GCP&#x27;s technology was developed internally and has high standards of reliability and performance.&quot;<p>Guess what AWS was developed for.<p>I like hand-wavy, articles as much as any other guy, but it seems to me they picked GCP and wrote an article to justify it, an cooked up some numbers with single dimension comparisons to make it look like scientific. I wish I was working on single dimension problems in real life, but it is always more complex than that. I am more interested in worst case scenarios and SLAs than micro-benchmark results when comparing cloud vendors. Discarding Azure was purely arbitrary, in fact, Azure is more than happy running Linux or other non-Windows operating systems, I am not sure where he got the idea of &quot; Linux-second cloud&quot;.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;azure.microsoft.com&#x2F;en-us&#x2F;blog&#x2F;running-freebsd-in-azure&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;azure.microsoft.com&#x2F;en-us&#x2F;blog&#x2F;running-freebsd-in-az...</a>
