Weekly Show 419: Benchmarking Public Cloud Network Performance With ThousandEyes (Sponsored)

Summary: When you choose among the Big 3 public cloud providers, is network performance all the same? No.<br> Public cloud and multi-cloud buyers need to be aware of network performance characteristics before they start spinning up workloads because the end user impact is measurable.<br> Sponsor <a href="https://www.thousandeyes.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ThousandEyes</a> joins us to explain public cloud network performance. We discuss the company’s new multi-cloud monitoring service, and then review the “<a href="https://www.thousandeyes.com/research/public-cloud" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2018 Public Cloud Performance Benchmark Report</a>” that breaks down the network latency and jitter numbers for AWS, Azure, and GCP.<br> Our ThousandEyes guests are <a href="https://twitter.com/archana_k7" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Archana Kesavan</a>, Senior Product Marketing Manager; and <a href="https://twitter.com/naik_ameet" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ameet Naik</a>, Senior Technical Marketing Manager.<br> *Please note that at the time we recorded the podcast, Google was the first of the big three public cloud providers to offer a tiered network service that leveraged its own private backbone. After the recording, AWS announced Global Accelerator, an add-on service that uses AWS’s own network to “intelligently route traffic to the endpoint that provides the best application performance.”<br> Show Links:<br> <a href="https://www.thousandeyes.com/research/public-cloud" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2018 Public Cloud Performance Benchmark Report</a> – ThousandEyes<br> <a href="https://twitter.com/thousandeyes" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ThousandEyes on Twitter</a><br> <a href="https://blog.thousandeyes.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ThousandEyes Network Intelligence Blog</a><br>
