Capacity Planning
2+
*****************
3+
4+
(Seems reasonable to have the Statistics for Engineers course be a pre-req for
5+
this course)
6+
7+
Fundamentals of capacity planning
8+
=================================
9+
10+
Resource usage investigation and exploration
11+
---------------------------------------------
12+
13+
* Examples: CPU:req/sec ratio, memory footprint:req/sec ratio, disk consumption
14+
per user/per sale/per widget, etc.
15+
* Application:Infrastructure metric relationships
16+
* 2nd order capacity (logging,
17+
metrics+monitoring systems, ancillary systems)
18+
19+
Finding ceilings
20+
----------------
21+
22+
* Discovering resource limits
23+
* Comparing different hardware/instance profiles - production load versus
24+
synthetic
25+
26+
* Benchmarking: pitfalls, limitations, pros/cons
27+
* http://www.contextneeded.com/system-benchmarks
28+
29+
* Multivariate infra limits (multiple resource peak-driven usage) Ex: web+image
30+
uploads, caching storage+processing, etc.
31+
* Architecture analysis (anticipating the next bottleneck)
32+
33+
Forecasting
34+
============
35+
36+
Linear and nonlinear trending and forecasting (“steering by your wake”)
37+
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
38+
39+
Details of automatic forecasting and scaling
40+
--------------------------------------------
41+
42+
Seasonality and future events
43+
-----------------------------
44+
45+
* Organic growth approaches (bottom-up infra driven, top-down app driven)
46+
* inorganic growth events (new feature launch, holiday effects, “going viral”,
47+
major public announcement)
48+
* Provisioning effects on timelines, financial tradeoffs
49+
50+
Diagonal scaling
51+
================
52+
53+
(vertically scaling your already horizontal architecture)
54+
55+
Reprovisioning and legacy system usage tradeoffs
56+

18+
because I’m a dick.)
