Abstract
Public cloud platforms are vital in supporting online applications for remote learning and telecommuting during the COVID-19 pandemic. The network performance between cloud regions and access networks directly impacts application performance and users' quality of experience (QoE). However, the location and network connectivity of vantage points often limits the visibility of edge-based measurement platforms (e.g., RIPE Atlas).
