Episode 19 — Capacity Planning Essentials — Hardware, Software, and Business Needs
This episode explores the fundamentals of capacity planning in cloud environments, starting with hardware considerations like compute, memory, storage, and network bandwidth. We then cover software factors, including licensing requirements, compatibility, and integration with existing systems. Business needs such as budget constraints, growth projections, and compliance requirements are also examined, showing how technical planning must align with organizational goals.
We also explain how capacity planning ties into performance, scalability, and user experience, as well as how to avoid both under-provisioning and wasteful over-provisioning. Practical strategies and examples prepare you to make informed resource allocation decisions in both exam scenarios and professional projects.
