Scaling

Independence of resources
The cloud provider ensures workloads are balanced fairly to minimise resource contention on the CCSP, and the platform itself constantly monitors and adjusts in line with defined policies. In some cases however, performance may be contended within or between tenants, and unless explicitly stated otherwise, no absolute guarantees of performance are given. Where performance-impacting contention or workloads are identified, the cloud provider may review the workload and, if it is considered inappropriate for the component or service, suggest alternatives or impose Quality of Service limits to safeguard the service available to other tenants.

This is identified through monitoring and trending e.g. event management where a warning message is issued at 80% utilisation and acted upon to avoid 100% growth associated service disruption.

By proactively managing infrastructure where service events are identified before they impact normal service operations, more time can be spent looking at technically creative ways to re-align infrastructure and deliver tangible business benefits.
