AWS, Azure, & GCP Respond to the 2020 Cloud Report

The 2020 Cloud Report conducted by Cockroach Labs benchmarked the performance of Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP) using default configurations to avoid bias, which sparked significant feedback from both cloud providers and customers. AWS, Azure, and GCP responded with suggestions for optimizing performance and expressed interest in continued collaboration for future reports. AWS recommended testing new machine types for improved performance, while Azure highlighted the need for careful configuration due to its numerous options and provided insights into VM scaling and network configurations. GCP emphasized the importance of staying updated on processor types and shared improvements in network performance. The report noted the complexities of tuning cloud configurations, such as VM machine types and network settings, and emphasized the importance of ongoing benchmarking to aid users in configuring their cloud environments effectively. The insights gathered will inform revisions to the testing suite for the 2021 Cloud Report, aiming to provide a more comprehensive analysis of online transaction processing (OLTP) workloads across these major cloud platforms.
