How To Build A Cloud Capacity Management Plan
Search Cloud Computing, Wednesday, September 18th, 2024
Running workloads in the cloud gives an organization access to unlimited resources. That's a good thing, but only if the IT team adopts good capacity planning practices.
One of cloud computing's biggest benefits is that it supports highly flexible and dynamic resource use. Cloud users consume as many or as few resources as they need and have the freedom to adjust consumption as their needs fluctuate.
But that doesn't mean cloud platforms automatically optimize resource allocation. For most types of cloud services, it is left to the user to determine how many resources cloud workloads will require at any given moment. (Exceptions are cloud services like serverless computing, which don't require preset resource allocations.)
