2022 Cloud Report
- jeffbee 4y agoI wonder why they did not test the Amazon 6a class. The report gives the impression that Amazon lacks an implementation of the 3rd-gen EPYC.
- shaicoleman 4y ago"Note: Because of our machine selection and testing cutoff times, we were unable to test AWS’s m6a instances, which also run AMD’s Milan processors. Based on the rest of our testing, we expect that the m6a instances could have outperformed m6i."
- mekster 4y agoCan we just go back to good old days and stop with animations to bring the content from all directions which is even slow enough I get blank screen for a few seconds as I scroll down which really reduces the readability.
- Thev00d00 4y agoIt also ignores the "prefers-reduced-motion" CSS Media feature flag :(
- cronix 4y agoShouldn't the web browser be the one implementing css rules?
- jaywalk 4y agoNo. How is the web browser supposed to know how an "unanimated" animation is supposed to appear? Animations can be very complex, and there's simply no way that a browser could do this without breaking a lot of stuff.

- tofuahdude 4y agoThese animations are painful!
- bjornsing 4y agoHow about ARM? Included in the report?
- matdehaast 4y agoLast I checked cockroach don’t support ARM binaries. Probably means they thought not worth the effort to do the analysis on those instances as it doesn’t help for their offering
- Thaxll 4y agoIt does supports ARM. It's a Go project so it should except if they do exotic things.
- _joel 4y agoExplained why they don't produce official, supported builds. https://github.com/cockroachdb/cockroach/issues/62903#issuecomment-864922029 https://github.com/cockroachdb/cockroach/issues/62903#issuec...
- colinmhayes 4y agoI work on a similar product to cockroach. We inject assembly into our code, wouldn't be surprised if they do too.
- guepe 4y agoThere is very little offering and honestly afaik they are not competing on performance except niche applications. It's not that easy to displace x86...

- EugeneOZ 4y agoDear webmasters, for “simple” cookies settings windows like this, you should be tortured equally. https://ibb.co/dp89vYQ https://ibb.co/dp89vYQ You are trying to “make” the users click “Allow all” just to hide this trash as quickly as possible. It is low.
- nix23 4y agocockroachlabs..... ;)
- capableweb 4y agoIt's not even low, but straight up breaking the regulations which made them put up that banner in the first place. But seems companies haven't yet understood that, nor have governments actually enforced anything so, here we are.
- orangepurple 4y agoWe need a browser extension to delete these stupid cookie consent popups
- deleted 4y ago[deleted]
- nazgul17 4y agoThere is one: https://www.i-dont-care-about-cookies.eu/ https://www.i-dont-care-about-cookies.eu/
- krageon 4y agoThis gives consent automatically (in an unspecified amount of cases). The correct action is to respond with a "no consent" answer every time, because withdrawing your consent for every single optional cookie category should be the default. People bother you with popups because they hate you, not because they are mandatory.
- hesdeadjim 4y agoAs a AMD fanboy who loves seeing them back on top, I’m just happy we have a competitive CPU market now. I’ll include the M-series from Apple as well, despite being platform locked, because it also forces the other players to up their game. I would love to see an AMD chip as fully integrated as an M1, moving the RAM fully on die and part of the Infinity fabric directly. The insane memory bandwidth of the M1 is what keeps it competitive.
- ericmay 4y agoYes! How awesome is it that we've got companies like AMD, Intel, Nvidia, ARM, Apple + TSMC for M series, and others who are cranking out awesome products? Sometimes we get lost in the criticism of every little thing that these companies do and forget that honestly, they're all cranking out great products.
- leoc 4y agoHopefully some serious competition and general normality will return to consumer discrete GPUs sometime soon, too.
- Geonode 4y agoI don't know about competition, but I think we'll see prices bottom out below MSRP before the 4000 level cards come out in the next few months.
- danuker 4y agoDo you think so, because the crypto craze is back in the crypt?
- vitus 4y agoWe're already close to that point. Low to mid-end AMD cards are already available at / below MSRP (e.g. 6600XT), and nVidia cards no longer command a > 2x premium across the board. At the height of the craze, I saw a five-year-old card, the GTX 1050 (not even Ti!), going for over 200. https://pcpartpicker.com/trends/price/video-card/ https://pcpartpicker.com/trends/price/video-card/ From February: https://www.techradar.com/deals/looking-for-a-gpu-dont-buy-yet-graphics-card-prices-are-falling-rapidly https://www.techradar.com/deals/looking-for-a-gpu-dont-buy-y...
- candiddevmike 4y agoWonder how cockroach is doing these days with all the competition in the space.
- echelon 4y agoI don't follow their product closely. Who are their competitors? (If I were in the market for their database and the alternatives were close in parity and price, I'd be likely to choose a competitor for the name not being "cockroach" alone.)
- michaelmior 4y agoI'm curious what it is about the name Cockroach that turns you off. I assume the name is intended to give the impression that the DB is hard to kill.
- estambar 4y ago^^THIS
- sa46 4y agoOther globally consistent NewSQL DBs: Spanner, TiDB, Yugabyte, SingleStore Partitioning for existing DBs: Citus for Postgres and Vitess for MySQL. Snowflake apparently just started to target transactional workloads with UniStore.
- thisiswrongggg 4y ago
- digb 4y agowas discussing this the other day with colleagues. you google CockroachDB and are immediately served Yugabyte and PlanetScale, which are imo much "hotter" right now
- Queue29 4y agoThis blog post is literally unreadable with animations flying around covering up content, is that by design?
- Thev00d00 4y agoIt also ignores the "prefers-reduced-motion" CSS Media feature flag :(
- 0des 4y agoso? this isnt about accessibility its about preference. i prefer white backgrounds but im not sad when a site author chooses pink.
- cpmsmith 4y agoHow should you know whether it's about accessibility? The `prefers-reduced-motion` feature is explicitly[0] intended to accommodate people with vestibular motion disorders, which are common above age 40.[1] [0]: https://drafts.csswg.org/mediaqueries-5/#prefers-reduced-motion https://drafts.csswg.org/mediaqueries-5/#prefers-reduced-mot...

- bowmessage 4y agoIf it's really bad, couldn't they apply userstyles that disable all animation with `!important`? `prefers-*` settings seem somewhat optional, best-effort, based on their name.
- vorpalhex 4y agoSure, please write it, ship it, and then support my 8+ aging family members who need to use it. Or just follow the spec.

- smarx007 4y agoFrom p. 74: > Overall, the gap for most AMD-based processors closed almost immediately when we controlled for NUMA nodes – in other words, when we only considered runs where each instance showed all vCPUs running across a single NUMA node. When we did this, the performance gap dropped from 22% to 1%, which is smaller than our margin of error. How does one avoid machines with vCPUs across multiple NUMA nodes? Do you just spin the machine up, run `lscpu | grep 'NUMA node(s)'` and kill the machine if the value reported is anything but 1 and try to spin a VM again?
- estambar 4y agoThat's what we did, yes
- estambar 4y agoWe are addressing some of the page rendering issues discussed in the comments below and hope to have them resolved soon. Sorry about that!
- vlovich123 4y agoAm I misreading the report or is GCP faster for network/disk, have more consistent performance (at least for network), & offer cheaper pricing? Aside from vendor lock-in (or potentially negotiated rates for large ENT accounts altering the economics), is there any reason to choose AWS/Azure instead of GCP?
- sharms 4y agoEach cloud comes with unique service / API complexity and despite being managed services that experience does not translate 1:1 across clouds. For example AWS IAM policies cannot be reused, and there may be differences in availability, durability, feature set et al. A good reason to choose AWS may be to minimize deltas between stacks, and often it is a fair assumption that their service offerings have been used by a significant amount of enterprises.
- vlovich123 4y ago> it is a fair assumption that their service offerings have been used by a significant amount of enterprises. AWS revenue is 62B. Azure Cloud revenue is 23B. GCS revenue is 22B. I'd say that at 42% of the market, other cloud provider service offerings cumulatively are used by a significant amount of enterprises as well. These revenue numbers are probably artificially deflated due to the land war going on between these business units (i.e. Azure/GCS have to offer larger discounts to steal business from AWS) so it's hard to actually compare without deeper analytics access into these providers. Regardless, even individually these are massive revenue numbers indicating there's plenty of deployments on each of the clouds. Also, the "nobody got fired for IBM" reasoning is pretty flawed in tech; it's kind of ridiculous how often this argument is made. Just to preface this next bit. I'm not asking about scenarios like "I run all parts of my business on AWS" which could change the benefits towards AWS (vendors love lockin because it raises prices). I'm asking mainly about a greenfield project that is selecting between the clouds equally. > Each cloud comes with unique service / API complexity and despite being managed services that experience does not translate 1:1 across clouds AFAIK the vast majority of all of this has been thoroughly commoditized. Do you have anything specific that you see as an important product/feature that Amazon has that the other's don't? > AWS IAM policies cannot be reused Not relevant for new deployments & AWS IAM policies are famously overly complex resulting in security vulnerabilities due to misconfiguration, but sure. IAM policies are unique to each cloud provider. > and there may be differences in availability, durability, feature set et al Experientially it seems like Google has an advantage there - AWS seems to have more frequent and longer-lasting outages. I doubt durability has a major difference & feature sets tend to be fairly even between them (might matter for the long tail). Also, that statement feels kind of empty as all it says is that there "may be" differences without stating any or which provider might come out ahead.
- suggala 4y agoBenchmark was executed only for CPU intensive node configurations. For highmem node configurations, AMD is not performing well. Probably need to title the report as Cloud Report for CPU intensive workloads. For memory intensive workloads, this report is not doing enough justice.
- Rafuino 4y agoCan you elaborate on what you'd expect to see if they tested the highmem node configs?
- suggala 4y agoNot just highmem configs. You have to do any decent memory intensive workloads to be able to see difference. Memory Access Latencies are higher for AMD machines because of various reasons.
