The Prisma Cloud Connectivity Report 2024 analyzes network latency between AWS regions and Cloudflare PoPs, identifying regions with the fastest and slowest connectivity. It highlights the impact of physical infrastructure and geographical distance on latency, providing insights for optimizing cloud connectivity and data exchange efficiency.

At Prisma, we are operating services in most AWS regions and all Cloudflare PoPs outside of China. As a result, we have an extensive set of latency data for requests between Cloudflare and AWS. This question on X prompted us to start releasing this data in a yearly Cloud Connectivity Report:

We collect p50, p90, p95, p99 and p999 latency metrics for the intersection of 16 AWS regions and 266 Cloudflare points of presence (PoPs) for a total of 21k data points. This report will focus on a few key data points, and the full dataset is linked at the end.

Fastest of all, ap-south-1 (Mumbai) opened in 2016 and has a p50 latency to the nearby Cloudflare BOM PoP of 10.9ms. Second, ap-southeast-1 (Singapore) opened in 2010 and has a p50-latency to the nearby SIN PoP of 12.3 ms. Finally, the ap-southeast-2 (Sydney) region opened in 2012 and has a p50 latency of 15.8ms to the nearby SYD PoP.
