Capacity Planning:
• Seeks to match demand to available resources.
• Examines
what system are in place
Measure their performance
Measure maximum amount of task performed
Determine patterns in usage to predict demand
Resources are provisioned and allocated

Capacity Planning
Understand and characterize the workload
Sytem resources satisfy cloud computing demands
Resources has utilization rate
Offers system with more enhanced capabilities
Network capacity hardest factor to resolve

Goal of Capacity Planning
• Primary goal to accomodate the workload
• Although measures performance
• add expertise to improve performance
• Focus on meeting demand

12/28/2022 PCTE GROUP OF INSTITUTES 5

Role of Capacity Planner:
Determines working of the system
Used to measures their performance
Predict future demand of cloud computing

Goal of Capacity planner
• Identify significant and vital resources that has resource ceiling
• Add more resources to move the bottleneck.

Capacity planning Steps:
1. Determine the characteristics
2. Measures workload for the different resources
3. Load the system until it is overloaded
4. Predict the future
5. Deploy resources to meet predictions
6. Repeat steps 1 to 5 as a loop.

Defining Baseline and Metrics:
• First step determine the current system capacity
• workload as a measurable quantity over time
• Developers create applications on a LAMP solution stack

• LAMP stands for:
1. Linux: Operating system
2. Apache: Apache Software foundations’s web servers
3. MySQL: Database Server
4. PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor scripting Language

• Amazon Web Services, machine instances are offered for both Red
Hat Linux and for Ubuntu.
• Variants of LAMP:
Macintosh
OpenBSD (OpAMP)
Solaris (SAMP)
Windows (WAMP)
