Abstract. This paper evaluates the behavior of the Microsoft Azure G5 cloud instance type over multiple Data Centers. The purpose is to identify if there are major differences between them and to help the users choose the best option for their needs. Our results show that there are differences in the network level for the same instance type in different locations and inside the same location at different times. The network performance causes interference in the applications level, as we could verify in our results.
