• Google Compute Engine Performance Test with RightScale and Apica | RightScale Blog
  During our tests we created a massive load that simulated a real-world application experiencing a planned promotional push or viral-type event using a fairly vanilla configuration with very little tuning or tweaking. Through this process we showed that GCE, managed by RightScale, can help deploy, run, and manage intensely demanding applications on the cloud. Throughout the testing process, GCE exhibited extremely high performance, low complexity, and great flexibility. As a result, I am very excited about what GCE has to offer.
