Amazon Linux 2022 Performs Well, But Intel's Clear Linux Continues Leading In The Cloud

The Redis performance was similar between these Linux distributions.

Clear Linux's Python packages have traditionally led over other Linux distributions thanks to their optimizations and this remains the case over AL2022.

Clear Linux also led in the Nginx web server performance, which in part has shown in the past to be partially attributed at least to their default compiler optimizations.

The Apache HTTPD web server results meanwhile were mixed.

Clear Linux offers the fastest default PHP performance we have seen out of any Linux distribution thanks to its various compiler/profiling optimizations employed when constructing that bundle.
