We have run a full suite of performance tests on the t2-micro VPS plan
of Amazon AWS. VPSBenchmarks bought, setup the server and started the tests.
On this page, you'll find:
Price and specifications for the t2-micro plan.
The grades that summarize its performance in 5 categories based on the benchmarks results.
Links to the detailed benchmarks results that can be compared to other providers and other plans.

Test Results
Web Runs : performance of a web application running on the server with locally generated load. Latencies and max request rate.
Sysbench : CPU, disk IO and memory speed tests.
Endurance : output over time of a long running cpu intensive application.
Network Transfers : maximum HTTP download and upload speeds between the VPS and servers
located nearby.
Yabs : test suite that includes Geekbench CPU tests, Fio for disk IO and Iperf3 for network transfers.
Live Web Tests : latencies of a web application with live traffic.
Live Web
Web performance is measured locally on the VPS and includes Rails app response times to live web traffic as well as system metrics.
Review and compare Amazon AWS - t2-micro web performance with other cloud providers.
