Is the VM over-provisioning rate monitored?

If a containerization platform is implemented, are overlay storage layers used? Is storage reduction necessary?

Precisions

The adaptation of technical resources and their uses must be monitored in relation to the sum of the virtual resources allocated and consumed by the applications. Certain technologies (Virtualization) allow the allocation of several virtual components on the same physical component in order to increase the density of the hosting solutions.

Use Case

Technical documentation reports required resources & optimisations (virtualisation, container, ...)

Recommendation Essential

Life cycle

Are the environments other than production (DEV, QA, ...) switched off or decommissioned outside the ranges of use (at night, outside the test periods) ?

Recommendation

Sustainable IT Infrastructure

Are methods in place to measure the actual consumption of the code in production and allow accurate sizing ?

Recommendation

Life cycle

Are unused production environments outside of peak loads turned off or decommissioned ?

Recommendation

Software Design Sustainable IT

Are the definitions of SLA and QoS for each of the functions of the application architecture specified in accordance with the business uses ?

Recommendation
