This session details network performance and connectivity architecture variations between public cloud providers AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, Alibaba Cloud, and IBM Cloud. Data was collected from global vantage points to cloud regions, within cloud backbones (inter-AZ and inter-region) and between different clouds. The presentation highlights network performance differences and underlying causes, why Asia has the most variation in performance across the 5 cloud providers, how connectivity to/from China affects performance, and more.
