Episode 27 — Performance Capacity Planning — Metrics, Thresholds, and Planning Cycles
In this episode, we focus on the performance metrics that drive effective capacity planning. We cover CPU utilization, memory allocation, storage IOPS, and network throughput, explaining how each affects overall system performance. Threshold setting is discussed in detail, showing how to define acceptable performance ranges and plan scaling actions before resources become bottlenecks. Planning cycles are also addressed, illustrating how regular review intervals keep resource allocations aligned with evolving business needs.
We also explain how to integrate these metrics into dashboards and reports, making them actionable for both technical and business stakeholders. This structured approach to capacity planning ensures that cloud systems remain efficient, cost-effective, and responsive to demand changes.
