Comparing a distribution of two completely different metrics is not particularly meaningful. You can change the histogram buckets to a different size and it will look just as spread out. When I first read it, I thought it was saying GCP has a tighter spread than AWS. This was confusing, especially since the chart immediately above that seems to have AWS and GCP numbers flipped.
- gamegoblin 8y agoI can't find the the text you quoted in the article. Did they edit it out?
- planckscnst 8y agoYes, it looks like the text was edited, but the table is still incorrect.
- orangechairs 8y ago(editor here) Table was corrected last night, and the text was edited per the comment above and a few keen eyes internally who also caught the confusing sentence.
