I've recently read your performance report and noted that according to your recipe, you did not use Proximity Placement Groups in Azure. PPGs greatly reduce latency.

I'm curious if this was an accidental oversight and how results would improve with use of PPGs. Obviously this precludes a multi-zonal or multi-zonal architecture, but high-availability wasn't the aim of your performance tests.

Thanks

Azure's ultra disk doesn't support ds-v5 and es-v5

Hi,

One of the items in your blog post shows AWS around 8.5 Gbps and GCP around 25 Gbps.

Did you see this ?

Maybe cockroachdb could be even faster if you tune a bit more ;-)

Kind regards,
Hans
ps. did you see the P4d instances at 400Gbps networking ?

From the report:

Azure does not provide a 2500 GB option; we used the average cost of a 2TB option and scaled it to 2.5TB.

If I understand correctly, on azure, a 2.5TB premium disk will cost the same as a 4TB premium disk, while a 2.5TB ultra disk will cost the same as a 3TB ultra disk. The former is the disk size as presented to the virtual machine, the latter is the actual disk size. In this case, it so happens that there is no performance difference between a 2TB and a 4TB premium disk, nor between a 2TB and a 3TB ultra disk, thus the performance numbers should be still fair to other providers. However, the pricing calculation as quoted above can still be misleading.

Going forward, the best approach is probably to use either a 2TB disk or a 4TB disk, to cater to azure.

when use
./cloud-report1 analyze -d cloudDetails/cc.json
i get error:

When delete success file, i get nothing, only clear csv files.
strace for command ./cloud-report1 analyze -d cloudDetails/cc.json
