Disclosure: I work on VMs at Google Compute Engine :)

This was a really, really good write-up. I appreciated the breadth of VMs tested and the spread of benchmarks. A few random observations:

1. Turin is a beast.

2. The data on price-performance makes Hetzner look really fantastic, especially for small scale projects where region placement doesn’t matter much and big bursty scaling isn’t required.

3. I think the first ever cloud VM I ever provisioned was on DigitalOcean. I was surprised at how old their fleet was, but I guess they have some limited Emerald Rapids offerings now: https://www.digitalocean.com/blog/introducing-5th-gen-xeon-p...
