A comment on How Google Compute Engine stacks up to Amazon EC2.

So, uh, could they show what they used to get those numbers? A EC2 micro vs. the GCE big version (I'm not familiar enough with GCE).

I'll note a HUGE factor is missing: the word 'cost' isn't even in the article. How much more (or less) are you paying for the apparent increase in performance?

It's like all those Mac reviews. Boot up time and the appearance of the default desktop is all the reviewer cares about.

If you want real useful info, go to a industry site not a pop tech chat board like HN.
