MAPERF 1: How do you select the best
performing architecture between two organizations?
Support increased platform loading, which allows more customer usage and drives company growth. The platform hosting could be statically provisioned and have very predictable loading. Scaling can be accomplished by both vertical and horizontal methods.
MAPERF01-BP01 Understand
the available services and resources
Explore the wide range of services and resources available in the cloud. Identify the relevant services and configuration options for your workload, and determine how to achieve optimal performance.
MAPERF01-BP02 Define a
process for architectural choices
Define a process to choose resources and services by using internal experience and knowledge of the cloud or external resources such as published use cases, relevant documentation, or whitepapers. You should define a process that encourages experimentation and benchmarking with any services that could be used in your workload.
MAPERF01-BP03 Factor cost
requirements into decisions
Workloads often have cost requirements for operation. Use internal cost controls to select resource types and sizes based on predicted resource need.
MAPERF01-BP04 Use guidance
from your cloud provider or an appropriate partner
Use cloud company resources, such as solutions architects, professional services, or an appropriate partner to guide your decisions. These resources can help review and improve your architecture for optimal performance.
MAPERF01-BP05 Benchmark
workloads from both organization
Benchmark the performance of an existing workload to understand how it performs in the cloud. Use the data collected from benchmarks to make architectural decisions.
