1. A data center selection device for cloud-based application deployment, the device comprising:
a communication interface configured for communication with a directory server, and for communication with multiple test applications; and
a processor configured for:
receiving over the communication interface computer network addresses of multiple data centers;
executing a test application to:
send a request for test data from multiple test applications at the multiple data centers;
measure network connectivity delays in receiving the test data from the multiple data centers, and
determine separate network statistics for the multiple data centers from the measured network connectivity delays; and
selecting a data center to host the cloud-based application based at least in part on the measured network statistics and causing the cloud-based application to be deployed at the selected data center.
