The Cost Advantage of Virtual Machine Migrations: Empirical Insights into Amazon's EC2 Marketspace
In recent years, cloud providers have introduced novel approaches for trading virtual machines.

Today, the market leader Amazon runs six marketspaces for trading virtual machines. Consumers can purchase bundles of virtual machines, which are called cloud-portfolios, from multiple marketspaces and providers. An industry…

The Invisible Hand: Unveiling Provider Bias in Large Language Models for Code Generation
Large Language Models (LLMs) have emerged as the new recommendation engines, surpassing traditional methods in both capability and scope, particularly in code generation. In this paper, we reveal a novel provider bias in LLMs: without explicit directives, these models show systematic preferences for services from specific providers in their recommendations (e.g., favoring Google Cloud over Microsoft Azure). To systematically investigate this bias, we develop an automated pipeline to construct t…
