Pinging Regions/Zones to choose lowest latency for compute engines?

[Omar Hughes]

There anyway to do this? I cannot find anything that will let me ping a server before creating an instance.

Example of what I'd like:

Hi there, 

You currently have a few options to measure latency on GCE : 

1. http://googlecloudplatform.blogspot.com.es/2015/02/new-open-source-tools-for-measuring-cloud-performance.html

2. https://cloudharmony.com/speedtest   (uncheck CDN..use Cloud hosting option and it will give you latency by zone/region as well  )
 

Hope this helps !

Precisely what I was looking for, thanks!

There are also more extensive network benchmarks in the cloud benchmarking tool PerfKitBenchmarker hosted on GitHub.

ping is useful but it does not capture transaction latency, give a too measure of an http request, etc.  For steady state latency try netperf TCP_[C]RR or UDP_RR benchmarks.

All the above including ping are in PerfKit.
