:D I'll make a post and hit you up when I have something. As someone adviced me here, it would be important for the comparison to consider if the on-premises example does live kernel patching. Could you share me this info please?
Ubuntu and a lot of Linux has the option if you use Ubuntu Pro, but I update my OS so rarely it's a non-issue. I wouldn't even consider that when comparing on-prem vs cloud.
My hunch (and as someone who uses both daily) is that on-prem is 2-10x faster than affordable cloud options within a region, but in some cases like international traffic or high-end multi-core computing etc. cloud should pull away from on-prem - but curious to see what you find :D
Really interesting that you have found on-prem 2x10x faster within a region, thanks for that info. I'll let you know how things go with the experiment, cheers :D
