How about Linode? [2022]Linode Singapore Cloud Server Evaluation and Sharing

How is the cloud server in Linode's Singapore data center doing now? Is it still suitable for the user group in mainland China? With questions in mind, let’s open a cloud server in Linode Singapore’s computer room for a simple evaluation, and share the measured data. After reading this, everyone will naturally know what the status of Linode Singapore’s computer room is like.

I opened a Singapore cloud server with the lowest configuration. The CPU is amd epyc 7601, clocked at 2.2GHz. The current I/O is approximately 427MB/S, and BBR is enabled:

The detailed read and write data of FIO on the hard disk are as follows:

Let’s try it out and see what the VPS network can do? The nearby node of the speed test shows 1Gbps uplink and 6Gbps downlink. Then look at the situation of the three networks in mainland China: Telecom is terrible, and it is still daytime; China Unicom is generally pretty good, and China Mobile is much better than Telecom.

The test results of nodes in other parts of Asia are as follows:

The results of iperf3 testing European and American nodes are as follows:

The webmaster stored the files under NGINX under the test VPS, Guangzhou Telecom, and directly downloaded them with Chrome to test the approximate speed, and the results made people vomit blood:

It was already terrible during the day, so you don’t need to think about the consequences of the evening rush hour:

Let’s take a look at the delay monitoring results of Xiaoji IP from more than 80 nodes in mainland China:

For the outbound journey from China Telecom, take NTT to bypass Japan and then go to Singapore:

For China Unicom's outbound journey, we also take NTT to bypass Japan and then go to Singapore:

Moving outbound, CMI connects with PCCW and bypasses the United States before returning to Singapore:

Return to China Telecom:

In the direction of Beijing and Shanghai, take PCCW and return to Los Angeles, USA;

Towards Guangzhou, take NTT back from Singapore;

Return to China Unicom:

In the direction of Beijing/Guangzhou, Singapore pccw to Hong Kong pccw and then as4837 back, it’s not bad;

For Shanghai, take NTT from Singapore to NTT in Japan and then China Unicom as4837 back;

Return, move to mainland China:

Beijing and Shanghai direction: Take Telstra from the computer room to the Singapore mobile node and then connect directly back

Guangzhou direction: Take Telstra from Singapore to the Singapore mobile node and then move to Hong Kong and back

Rough detection of streaming media:

IDC’s IP is largely unsolvable:

Unix bench Mark：

In summary:

I/O is okay, Unix bench mark is average;

On the outbound journey, China Telecom and China Unicom use NTT to bypass Japan, while China Mobile uses CMI to connect to pccw, which is very common and does not have high-end networks;

Return trip,

Telecommunications: After taking a detour to the United States, it was terrible when I came back;

China Unicom: Take pccw to Hong Kong and come back or take NTT to Japan and come back, it’s okay;

Mobile: direct connection or going to Hong Kong and back, this is the most comfortable among the three major operators;

If you are a telecommunications network, Linode Singapore has nothing to do with you;

If you are China Unicom, relatively speaking, it is not bad, just so-so;

If you are moving, at least the return route is good. It should be very comfortable during the day, but may be relatively worse during the evening rush hour.
