> GCP’s network looks much better than either AWS or Azure’s networks.
> Not only do their top performing machines beat each network’s top performing machines, but, so to do their bottom performing machines. Even their least performant machine (n1-highcpu-16 in figure 10) is consistent with AWS’ maximum network throughput as seen in our tests.
> This is especially impressive because last year, AWS outperformed GCP in our network tests. It is a credit to GCP that they have improved their network performance and we are left wondering exactly how they accomplished this improvement.
