Cloud vendor announces new instance types every month, and the content of the announcement is always the same:  "The new instance is faster, shinier and cheaper than the previous one."  

But is it true? And what about other instances in the same generation but with different CPU vendors? Anthony tests it all. He checks every new instance appearing in one of the 200 (yes, that is two hundred) cloud vendors he follows and shares the data on Cloud Mercato. 

In this episode, Stephen and I have discovered many new things, smashed some assumptions and enjoyed the power of data.
