Nobody benchmarks <strong>how fast a cloud actually provisions infrastructure</strong> β€” or how often it fails. That gap directly affects your CI/CD pipelines, auto-scaling, and disaster recovery. So I built ProvisioningIQ to measure it.</p> <h2> What is ProvisioningIQ? </h2> <p><a href="https://provisioningiq.appswireless.com" rel="noopener noreferrer">ProvisioningIQ</a> runs automated synthetic provisioning tests across AWS, Azure, and GCP β€” 24/7, across multiple regions. Every test is a real API call. We measure VM provisioning, container deployments, public IP allocation, and virtual network creation.</p> <h2> Early Findings (7,642 real runs, Jan–Apr 2026) </h2> <h3> Overall Reliability &amp; Speed </h3> <div class="table-wrapper-paragraph"><table> <thead> <tr> <th>Cloud</th> <th>Success Rate</th> <th>Avg Latency</th> <th>p50</th> <th>p99</th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr> <td>🟠 AWS</td> <td><strong>99.6%</strong></td> <td>27,850ms</td> <td>30,215ms</td> <td>49,838ms</td> </tr> <tr> <td>πŸ”΅ Azure</td> <td>98.3%</td> <td>74,439ms</td> <td>72,395ms</td> <td>131,771ms</td> </tr> <tr> <td>🟒 GCP</td> <td>92.9%</td> <td>74,610ms</td> <td>19,654ms</td> <td>235,748ms</td> </tr> </tbody> </table></div> <h3> The Interesting Split: Containers vs VMs </h3> <div class="table-wrapper-paragraph"><table> <thead> <tr> <th>Scenario</th> <th>Cloud</th> <th>Avg Latency</th> <th>Success Rate</th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr> <td>🐳 Container</td> <td>GCP Cloud Run</td> <td> <strong>11,024ms</strong> πŸ†</td> <td>88.0%</td> </tr> <tr> <td>🐳 Container</td> <td>AWS ECS</td> <td>21,996ms</td> <td>99.4%</td> </tr> <tr> <td>🐳 Container</td> <td>Azure ACI</td> <td>75,252ms</td> <td>96.9%</td> </tr> <tr> <td>πŸ–₯️ VM</td> <td>AWS EC2</td> <td> <strong>33,673ms</strong> πŸ†</td> <td><strong>99.8%</strong></td> </tr> <tr> <td>πŸ–₯️ VM</td> <td>Azure</td> <td>73,625ms</td> <td>99.7%</td> </tr> <tr> <td>πŸ–₯️ VM</td> <td>GCP GCE</td> <td>139,095ms</td> <td>98.5%</td> </tr> </tbody> </table></div> <p><strong>What stands out:</strong></p> <ul> <li> <strong>GCP wins containers by a huge margin</strong> β€” Cloud Run provisions in ~11 seconds on average, nearly 7x faster than Azure ACI</li> <li> <strong>AWS wins VMs</strong> β€” EC2 is fastest and most reliable at 99.8% success rate</li> <li> <strong>Azure is the most consistent</strong> β€” lowest p99 variance for VMs, predictable if not the fastest</li> <li> <strong>GCP's p99 is brutal</strong> β€” 235 seconds worst-case means outlier provisioning events are extreme</li> <li>All three clouds show elevated failure rates during certain time windows β€” <strong>never documented publicly by any provider</strong> </li> </ul> <p>Here's a live look at the Pro Dashboard:</p> <p>![ProvisioningIQ Pro Dashboard showing VM latency trends across AWS, Azure and GCP]</p> <p><a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fzqf1uhxqxa3tapnqvaxp.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"><img src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fzqf1uhxqxa3tapnqvaxp.png" alt="Pro Dashboard - showing reliability and latency" width="800" height="702"></a></p> <blockquote> <p>Pro and Enterprise members get access to p50/p99 latency breakdowns, regional comparisons, and 7-day historical trends across all clouds and scenarios.</p> </blockquote> <h2> Try It / Follow Along </h2> <ul> <li>🌐 <strong>Live dashboard:</strong> <a href="https://provisioningiq.appswireless.com" rel="noopener noreferrer">provisioningiq.appswireless.com</a> </li> <li>πŸ“Š Daily benchmark results posted here automatically every morning</li> <li>πŸ’¬ Questions about methodology?
