We measured it ourselves. </h2> <p>Cloud providers publish uptime SLAs. They publish pricing calculators. They publish feature comparison tables.</p> <p>None of them publish how long it actually takes to provision infrastructure — or how often it fails.</p> <p>So we built <a href="https://provisioningiq.appswireless.com" rel="noopener noreferrer">ProvisioningIQ</a> to measure it continuously. Here's what 7,600+ real provisioning tests across AWS, Azure, and GCP look like.</p> <h2> Methodology </h2> <p>Every test is a real API call — no simulations, no estimates.</p> <ul> <li>Provision a real resource (VM or serverless container)</li> <li>Measure time at each phase: API accepted → allocating → ready → reachable</li> <li>Record success/failure + failure category</li> <li>Immediately destroy the resource</li> <li>Running continuously since January 2026, 3x per day across 3 regions per cloud</li> </ul> <h2> Serverless Containers (Cloud Run / ECS / ACI) </h2> <div class="table-wrapper-paragraph"><table> <thead> <tr> <th>Cloud</th> <th>Service</th> <th>p50 Latency</th> <th>p95 Latency</th> <th>Success Rate</th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr> <td>🟢 GCP</td> <td>Cloud Run</td> <td><strong>6–8 seconds</strong></td> <td>~20 seconds</td> <td>100%</td> </tr> <tr> <td>🟠 AWS</td> <td>ECS</td> <td>~20 seconds</td> <td>~40 seconds</td> <td>100%</td> </tr> <tr> <td>🔵 Azure</td> <td>ACI</td> <td>~40 seconds</td> <td>~60 seconds</td> <td>100%</td> </tr> </tbody> </table></div> <p><strong>GCP Cloud Run provisions 10–20x faster than Azure ACI at p50.</strong></p> <p>That gap isn't a fluke — it's been consistent across every region we test. GCP's architecture for Cloud Run means containers reach a ready state dramatically faster than the competition.</p> <h2> Virtual Machines </h2> <div class="table-wrapper-paragraph"><table> <thead> <tr> <th>Cloud</th> <th>Service</th> <th>p50 Latency</th> <th>Success Rate</th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr> <td>🟠 AWS</td> <td>EC2</td> <td>~34 seconds</td> <td><strong>99.8%</strong></td> </tr> <tr> <td>🔵 Azure</td> <td>VM</td> <td>~72–86 seconds</td> <td>99.7%</td> </tr> <tr> <td>🟢 GCP</td> <td>GCE</td> <td>~100 seconds</td> <td>98.5%</td> </tr> </tbody> </table></div> <p>AWS wins on VMs — fastest p50 and highest reliability. GCP VMs are slower than their containers by a significant margin, making Cloud Run the clear GCP choice for latency-sensitive workloads.</p> <h2> Why p95 Matters More Than p50 </h2> <p>Your infrastructure decisions are made looking at averages. Your on-call engineer deals with the p95.<br> </p> <div class="highlight js-code-highlight"> <pre class="highlight plaintext"><code>AWS containers p95: ~40 seconds Azure containers p95: ~60 seconds GCP containers p95: ~20 seconds </code></pre> </div> <p>Your SLA is written around the average. Your on-call engineer gets paged during the p95.</p> <p>When auto-scaling fires at 2AM, that difference between a 20-second GCP recovery and a 60-second Azure recovery isn't academic — it's the difference between your system recovering before users notice and your users noticing before your system recovers.</p> <h2> Regional Variance Is Real </h2> <p>Same cloud, different region — provisioning times vary meaningfully. A region running elevated p95 the week of your incident is not something any cloud provider will warn you about. We've observed maintenance-window-related spikes that temporarily double provisioning times in specific regions.</p> <p>Without continuous independent benchmarking, you have no visibility into this.</p> <h2> What This Means for Your Architecture </h2> <p><strong>Containerized workloads with aggressive auto-scaling:</strong><br> GCP Cloud Run's 6-8 second p50 is a genuine architectural advantage. Scaling from zero is nearly instant compared to alternatives.</p> <p><strong>Need VM reliability above everything else:</strong><br> AWS EC2 at 99.8% with tight p95 variance is the most predictable option across all three clouds.</p> <p><strong>Running on Azure:</strong><br> ACI latency is consistent but higher than the competition. Build 40-60 second provisioning windows into your scaling policies — don't assume AWS-like behavior.</p> <p><strong>Making a cloud selection decision:</strong><br> Don't rely on vendor benchmarks. The provisioning behavior of the cloud you choose affects your auto-scaling, DR, and CI/CD pipeline every single day.</p> <h2> Three Scenarios Where This Directly Hits Your Business </h2> <p><strong>1. Auto-scaling under load</strong><br> A 60-second provisioning gap is a 60-second window where your system is degraded, your queue is backing up, and your users experience latency you can't explain in a postmortem because "the cloud was slow" isn't on anyone's dashboard.</p> <p><strong>2. Disaster recovery</strong><br> Your RTO assumes 30-second provisioning. If your cloud is running at 90-second p95 that week, your actual RTO just tripled. Without independent benchmarking, you won't know until it matters.</p> <p><strong>3. CI/CD pipeline velocity</strong><br> 40 seconds saved per deploy × 50 deploys/day × 260 working days = <strong>144 hours of engineering time recovered annually. Per team.</strong></p> <h2> The Transparency Gap in Cloud Procurement </h2> <p>When you sign a cloud agreement, you negotiate:</p> <ul> <li>Price per compute hour ✓</li> <li>Storage costs ✓</li> <li>Network egress ✓</li> <li>Uptime SLA ✓</li> </ul> <p>You don't negotiate provisioning latency. You don't get a commitment on it. You don't even get a number.</p> <p><strong>ProvisioningIQ exists to close that transparency gap.</strong></p> <h2> What We're Measuring Next </h2> <ul> <li> <strong>Managed database provisioning</strong> — RDS PostgreSQL vs Cloud SQL vs Azure Database for PostgreSQL. Nobody has continuous benchmark data on this. We're building it.</li> <li> <strong>Terraform-based step-level timing</strong> — breaking provisioning into discrete phases to pinpoint exactly where each cloud spends its time.</li> </ul> <h2> See the Live Data </h2> <p>Free daily benchmarks: <a href="https://provisioningiq.appswireless.com" rel="noopener noreferrer">provisioningiq.appswireless.com</a></p> <p>Pro tier includes 90-day history, p50/p95 trends, per-region failure analysis, and daily email digest.</p> <p><em>Questions about methodology, failure categorization, or how we handle cleanup?
