Not to the instance, AFAIK. Google Cloud maxes out at ~20Gbps, and I think Azure does ~40Gbps.

It's really about flows as well, not necessarily total throughput.

AWS Nitro allows 5G/bit per flow. And then maxes out at 25G/bit. I know GCP does something similar.

Also, pretty sure that is false regarding Azure, they have a small availability of Infiniband, but, that is not on their general compute platform and has a narrow use case/many restrictions. Azure has had the worst networking performance from my experience and only had 10GbE NICs (it's been a while though)
