Test identity
Disposable test guests use the same CPU, RAM and disk envelope as the published VPS 2 and VPS 4 plans. The guest OS, kernel, resource limits and run timestamp are recorded in the raw artifact.
Reproducible evidence
VPS benchmarks with the settings attached.
A benchmark number needs the plan envelope, command, duration, timestamp and raw results. We publish the method and raw archive together.
CPU
sysbench CPU runs use a fixed max-prime and duration recorded with each result. vCPU is shared/scheduled capacity, so runs can vary; we preserve repeated results instead of selecting only the fastest sample.
Storage
fio jobs use explicit block size, queue depth, I/O engine, read/write mix, direct-I/O setting, file size and duration. The test file stays inside the disposable guest disk. We do not call a short synthetic fio run an application-performance guarantee.
Network and latency
Network tests record the endpoint and protocol. Results are point-in-time observations between controlled test endpoints and are not a Canada-wide latency or throughput promise.
Archive everything
Raw results live under data/benchmarks/vps/. Failed, noisy and unfavourable runs are retained with their status so later comparisons can see variance and methodology changes.

Evidence note
Results are short synthetic observations, not an uptime or workload guarantee.
Evidence note
Network numbers are point-in-time observations between controlled benchmark endpoints and are not a Canada-wide Internet throughput or latency promise.
Evidence note
The first VPS 2 measurement transport completed but its stdout was not retained; no claim is derived from that unretained attempt. The retained raw run below is the published VPS 2 evidence.
