Legitimate competitor? With all of the data centers they have sprouting up this year and their superior networking technology and infrastructure I'll go on the record and say they'll be #1 in 5 years.
- nodesocket 10y agoCompletely agree they absolutely nailed networking and VPCs. GCP network attached disks are so much faster and easier to groc than EBS. The bigger the GCP disk, the faster it performs. If you want to maximize IOPS make a disk 750GB or larger. Compared that with EBS that has overhead with concepts like enhanced networking, EBS optimized, and don't even get me started on provisioned IOPS.
- vacri 10y agoProvisioned IOPS is still there, but in AWS the standard disk is 'the bigger the disk, the faster it is' - 3IOPS/GB (theoretically), with max IOPS at 1000GB. 'Enhanced Networking' is on most server types now as well. AWS pricing is definitely not made to be simple to understand, though...
