But here are a few other nifty little test tools you might want to check out GCP Ping measure latency to Google Cloud. In this article we are going to be primarily looking at their Amazon EC2 and associated services which essentially is the same thing as Google Compute Engine. Amazon EC2 was launched in a public beta back in August 2006. Each additional core increases the network cap up to a theoretical maximum of 16 Gbps for each virtual machine.. Amazon EC2 instances have a maximum bandwidth of 25 Gbps however this is only on the largest instance sizes. When it comes to pricing and speed Google Cloud Platform is definitely one you want to check out. AWS of course also has a long-standing history of providing cloud computing services for business and enterprises over the past decade.
