I think WSJ misinterpreted this. Sounds like a bit of an ownership shift, but Sinnet will still pay AWS to operate the regions.
Title is a bit misleading, Google is part of a consortium with KDDI, SingTel, China Telecom, China Mobile, and Global Transit. Google owns a single fiber pair in the cable (of 6), so they control their own optical…
With current per port costs and economics, that doesn't make much sense. The $/Gbps/Watt improves with every spin of the chip, and every increase in serdes bandwidth. 10GbE (64x10G) - ~$4,500, $70/port 10GbE (32x40G) -…
Since it offers 20Gbps to the VM, i'd guess it's a 25GbE NIC, since those and accompanying switches have just come out. VXLAN in the NIC (and the switch) at full line-rate offload has been a thing for at least 18-24…
