> Most instances on AWS get dedicated cpu and memory resources, so noisy neighbors isn't a problem First time I heard of that and also doesn't match my own experience using AWS.

Could you link the official statement you got this from? > The difference with metal is that you get the whole box for yourself. Yes, + you normally avoid virtualization as that can have impact on your performance too. I'm glad we agree there is a difference that is worth mentioning when it comes to performance :)
