One unbiased report. Cockroach Labs' 2022 Cloud Report offers an unbiased analysis of a variety of instance types across the three most popular public clouds to help you find the best options for your workloads. Download the 2022 Cloud Report [cloud-repo] Benchmarks & beyond Which cloud provider prevails across the key benchmarks today's cloud applications care about most? In the 2022 Cloud Report, we sought to put performance in real-world context--to provide practical insights, not just pure numbers. [benchmarks] 5 key insights from the 2022 Cloud Report Insight 1 AMD Milan chipsets set the pace for CPU benchmarks [epyc_milan] Machines with AMD Milan (EPYC Gen 3) processors claimed the top spots in both CPU benchmarking and OLTP testing for both large and small instance types. In past years, we saw Intel lead the pack in overall performance, with AMD competing on price-for-performance metrics. This year, both the overall performance leader and the price-for-performance leader were AMD-based instances.

Download the report for more cost comparisons Insight 3 You get what you pay for, but not always what you don't [throttling] When we paid explicitly for a resource we got the promised performance out of that resource. However, in cases where the cloud provider advertised a performance range (e.g. "up to 10 Gbps") and did not explicitly charge for a specific level of performance, the results varied between cloud providers and between runs. We saw a wide range in performance for non-network optimized instance types, including some apparent throttling.

For persistent workloads, it is extremely important to optimize cost calculations based on this consideration. This chart shows average storage costs as a percentage of the total instance costs (including storage).

The impact of this decision is more apparent with larger, more complicated workloads. In our tests, we found the sweet spot to be a vCPU:RAM ratio of 1:4.
