Xiao Cen has a free one-year AWS EC2 and a cheap VPS VULTR, so he made a simple comparison
Compare models
VULTR:
MEM:768M SSD:15G

MEM: 1G
Unixbench test SSD: 10G
The following is the comparative data of unixbench5.13

VULTR's VPS test score is still very impressive
The following is a test of the ping value
VULTR
AWS EC2
Both are NTT lines to Japan. The common problem is that the connection between the regions is higher than 200-400ms, and the lines are occasionally unstable.
The following is the hard drive speed test

Well, the simple test is here.
