Operational Intent Balance - Workloads are evenly spread out Consolidate Workloads are placed maximize utilization aka densification How much risk is acceptable? Headroom provides a buffer of space for the cluster Reduces risk from bursts or unexpected demand Business Intent How to drive placement based on business needs?

22 Continuous Workload Optimization Demo 22

23 World without continuous optimization An application Owner complains to IaaS Team that her app is slow. A Check ESXi utilization. If it s low, tell her to doubt no more. B Buy her a nice lunch + flower. Ask her to forget about it C Call your ware TAM & MCS. That s why you pay them right? She has verified that: Windows CPU and RAM utilization is good. Disk latency is good. No network drop packets. D Roll up your sleeve! You are born for this!
