Cross Cloud A2A Agent Benchmarking

Building a Benchmarking Agent with A2A and MCP This tutorial aims to build and test benchmarking Agents using the A2A protocol across several mainstream Cloud providers. A Master Orchestrator Agent is exposed via MCP to allow Antigravity CLI to be used as a MCP client to co-ordinate the benchmarks. Deja Vu — What is Old is New! This paper is a re-visiting of the original benchmark series with Gemini CLI over Node, GO, and Python: Cross Language A2A Agent Benchmarking with Gemini 3 and Gemini CLI In this updated version, the Antigravity CLI is used to push Rust Agents cross-cloud and co-ordinate Mersenne Prime Calculations. Why would I need Multi-Cloud Support? And Rust? Can’t I just use Python? Most mature Agent development tools and libraries are Python based. Python allows for rapid prototyping and evaluation of approaches. Python is also an interpreted language- which has trade-offs in memory safety, and performance. Other languages like GO and Rust offer high performance and memory safe operations. With a language neutral communication protocol — the actual Agent implementation of each Agent can be coded in the most appropriate language. What is this Approach actually Benchmarking? The high level goal was to measure the actual time spent running an algorithm in the native language code inside the A2A agent. Each language had a slightly different implementation due to the language syntax. After running the algorithm- each Agent was instructed to calculate and return the elapsed time for cross cloud comparison. What is the A2A protocol? The Agent2Agent (A2A) protocol, an open communication standard for AI agents, was initially introduced by Google in April 2025. It is specifically engineered to facilitate seamless interoperability within multi-agent systems, enabling AI agents developed by diverse providers or built upon disparate AI agent frameworks to communicate and collaborate effectively.
