IME, much of the “need to easily scale” is fixed by understanding your bottlenecks, being able to understand the metrics being captured, and how to address them

IME, much of the “need to easily scale” is fixed by understanding your bottlenecks, being able to understand the metrics being captured, and how to address them. You would be shocked (or not) at how few people raised on cloud can explain what IOPS are, or what IOWAIT is, let alone linking the two up.
Re: IaC, you definitely should understand what it is you’re instantiating (and why), no matter how you’re doing it. AWS Community TF Modules are all well and good until something breaks, and you realize you don’t really understand what’s going on.
- sokoloff 3y ago> how few people raised on cloud can explain what IOPS are I think you would be shocked at how few people raised in a fully on-prem world can adequately explain even that simple concept and its first-order implications.
- sgarland 3y agoThanks, I hate it.
- garciasn 3y agoWe did an analysis for a local data center leader on their SAN IOPS before we would sign on and they asked if they could have the results because they'd never done it. I was utterly shocked. Not only because they hadn't done it but that NO ONE ELSE had ever asked and/or done it either. Literal insanity.
