Performance evaluation and comparison of lightweight application servers of major cloud service providers, Alibaba Cloud, Tencent Cloud, Huawei Cloud, Ucloud

Alibaba Cloud , Tencent Cloud , HUAWEI CLOUD , and Ucloud (Ukud) lightweight application server performance tests and price comparisons.

Test items include: CPU performance, memory read and write speed, hard disk IO speed

Scripts and software for testing include: lemonbench, Geekbench5, CPU-Z, Unixbench, Pagoda panel , phoronix-test-suite

The configuration of the lightweight application servers in this evaluation comparison is unified as 2-core 4G, and the system is unified as Centos7 (Windows server 2019 was used in the CPU-Z test). Huawei Cloud chose the HECS Yunyao cloud server because it is not lightweight, and it should be similar to the lightweight Almost, Ucloud is not lightweight, so I chose a shared cloud server, and all servers are purchased at my own expense.

The purpose of this article is to provide you with a reference so that you can choose the server that suits you.

price comparison

Comparison of specifications, models and prices selected by various cloud service providers.

The price is a regular price, not an event price. It will be much cheaper if you buy it for a new user or during an event.

Summarize

Ucloud is the strongest in various performance tests, but its price is also the second most expensive, but it is positioned as a cloud server after all.

The performance of Tencent Cloud is much worse than that of other companies, but the price is the cheapest.

华为云性能比阿里云强一点，但价格太贵了。

然后阿里云的性能也不错，价格也只比腾讯云贵一点，但也是这几家里最早做云计算的，稳定性应该也是最好的。
