"Significant network traffic" tells me almost nothing, that's a totally subjective description and you don't describe your workload at all.
A back-end MMO game infrastructure server I have some understanding of in terms of the kind of load it is handling.
- burnte 9y agoIt tells us his workload is more network bound than computationally intensive.
- therealdrag0 9y agoExactly, in my company's SaaS monitoring, I excluded db/external calls, and I saw a 1-2ms increase (on-top of 15ms), so yeah that's a 10% increase, but with external calls make the overall transaction 50+ms, so 1-2ms is trivial. Similarly, the CPU on our Azure cloud box holding a half dozen dockerized Java apps I can't really see went up at all. Hovering around 10% CPU usage before and after patch.
