I see, someone commented it on this post. His argument is that most hardware issues are detected in power-on-self-test, and live kernel patching stops this. To be completely honest, I'm too unexperienced to know if it's pointless to consider this or not. Your point does make sense to me, if you only update the OS after several months, then it can't be a crucial thing for the comparison. Really interesting that you have found on-prem 2x10x faster within a region, thanks for that info. I'll let you know how things go with the experiment, cheers :D
