Cloud Peering: A map of cloud datacenters
- sh1mmer 17y agoThe interesting thing for me is that there is a real overlap between the locations of datacentres. It's obvious why this happens, but the possibilities it opens that's really cool. If you include the backhaul each provider has all the clouds suddenly get very close.
- joubert 17y agoWorld-wide map would be interesting.
- sh1mmer 17y agoWe thought about doing that, it's easier to do for North America because the trial of clues is easier to follow for an English speaker (e.g. DCK article yesterday about the new DC in Oregon). However, we'd like to do it globally too. I'm going to predict a lot of the DCs will again fall next to fat pipes off-continent.
- dnsworks 17y agoYou should be able to get the data programmatically, most isps have looking glass servers that you can look at to figure out who is peering with who. You can also look their AS #s up on Robtex and see if they're peering..
- dnsworks 17y agoTo help this along, I'm pretty sure that SoftLayer is peering with Amazon at SIX in Seattle.
- dnsworks 17y agoHere's another one, btw .. Netriver, this small datacenter I know up in Seattle is touting that they peer with Amazon :) http://www.netriver.net/pages/hybrid_computing http://www.netriver.net/pages/hybrid_computing
