Performance benchmark summary: ("1X" is AWS) Compute: VMs Price: 30% less Boot time: ¼ X Network between VMs: Same region: 4X Across regions: 10X BigQuery vs Redshift : ½ -20X Big Data (Hadoop and Spark): 3X Disks: Read throughput: 1X Write throughput: 4X (Ephemeral); 2X (Persistent) Local SSDs: Read throughput: 8X Writes throughput: 4X Storage (S3): Throughput: 2X Latency: 3X (initial); ½ X (for subsequent reads)
