I was doing some benchmarking on AWS, GCE and Azure at various price points for some research and didn't see Azure perform much worse for similar price points to AWS. Everyone is slower than GCE.

Do you have references for the assertion? I'm entirely happy to say I did the tests wrong, I did them as a trio of evening projects.

My workload was CPU-bound. Test TensorFlow CIFAR model training on the VM with the same amount of CPU on all three major providers. In my case Azure was ~30% slower, whereas GCE and AWS were neck and neck.

Interesting. My workload was more a mix of artifical network and CPU tasks. I'll revisit with this.

Thank you.
