If I remember correctly, Xen will give your instance more CPU if other VMs on the same physical host do not need it at the moment. If that is indeed the case, then your CPU performance comparison isn't very useful, as it only shows that you were lucky to get an otherwise idle machine with some providers, while others were loaded.
- atambo 17y agoIt would have probably been better if these tests were run on different host machines. An easy way to have accomplished this would have been using the migration feature to switch data centers, etc.
- jwr 17y agoI skimmed through the comments again. I find it funny how people jump to conclusions, focusing on providers, and thinking about switching. In my humble opinion, at least some of these benchmarks (the CPU ones) do not represent anything, as they depend on the load of neighbor instances on the same physical host. Once you see that, how can you possibly make business decisions based on these benchmarks? Color me surprised.
