Details about and from the Cloud Report done in Q2 2022

From 2018 to 2021, we produced the series of "Cloud Report", wherein we assessed the performance of AWS vs. GCP along dimensions like TPC-C throughput, I/O, CPU and latency.

This repo will let us aggregate and share data among team members, including processes and results.

Resources for Cloud Report:

• Highlights from the 2022 Cloud Report
• 2022 Cloud Report

The go program contained in this repo can automatically run tests on cloud providers baked into Roachprod.

For more details, see reproduction-steps.md in this repo.

Note: It would be possible to extend this binary to run on other platforms relatively easily, but requires some work to handle cloud-specific tasks––namely, getting machine metadata.

• follow the steps in reproduction-steps.md
• execute run_tpcc_experiment.sh; e.g., ./run_tpcc_experiment.sh -c aws
