PERF06-BP03 Evolve workload performance over time
As an organization, use the information gathered through the evaluation process to actively drive adoption of new services or resources when they become available.
Use the information you gather when evaluating new services or technologies to drive change. As your business or workload changes, performance needs also change. Use data gathered from your workload metrics to evaluate areas where you can get the biggest gains in efficiency or performance, and proactively adopt new services and technologies to keep up with demand.
Common anti-patterns:
-
You assume that your current architecture will become static and never update over time.
-
You introduce architecture changes over time with no metric justification.
-
You change architecture just because everyone else in the industry is using it.
Benefits of establishing this best practice: To optimize your workload performance and cost, you must evaluate all software and services available to determine the appropriate ones for your workload.
Level of risk exposed if this best practice is not established: Low
