Tests

Has the disk consumption been the subject of a dimensioning and an estimate during the DAT phases?

Precisions

In the absence of reliable metrics, the sizing of physical components is based on estimates that may not be adapted to real use cases. These metrics should be applied according to the following two principles: adjusting the sizing, and identifying overconsumption, which should be then systematically reviewed and addressed.
