Methodology

Synthetic Linux VM provisioning tests with public IP allocation, run continuously across multiple regions. Measured latency is wall-clock time from API request to a successful TCP probe on port 22.

All data is collected via ProvisioningIQ — a continuous benchmarking platform that runs synthetic provisioning tests and publishes the results. No estimates, no vendor data; every number above came from a real provisioning attempt.
