No, I don't work at Google. I work for Monsanto. Here is my take on AWS vs Google: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/10O1YeNpPjylHLugEz8GI...

Performance benchmark summary: ("1X" is AWS)

Compute:

VMs Price: 30% less

Boot time: ¼ X

Network between VMs: Same region: 4X Across regions: 10X

BigQuery vs Redshift : ½ -20X

Big Data (Hadoop and Spark): 3X

Disks: Read throughput: 1X Write throughput: 4X (Ephemeral); 2X (Persistent)

Local SSDs: Read throughput: 8X Writes throughput: 4X

Storage (S3): Throughput: 2X Latency: 3X (initial); ½ X (for subsequent reads)

Monsanto is actively damaging the future agricultural possibilities of the entire world with their business practices and how they sell their seeds. Creating seeds that we can way over dose with poison?
