Infrastructure Results - Part 4. Machine and Resource Maximums

This final section in the results column can be described as follows:

  • MAX Machines by Resource - represents the MAX amount of machines that can be supported by each individual resource

Note: In the above example we can see that CORES becomes the first resource to be maxed out at 400 machines - we know this because it is the lowest number across all the resources. The second resource bottleneck would occur in STORAGE at 512 machines.

The lowest number of machines for any resource will always become the first resource bottleneck.

  • MAX Resource by Machine - represents the MAX amount of resource that can be supported by the total machines being used in the usage profile input area

When we look at the Input area for the Workload Profile -

We can adjust the CPU, MEM, STORAGE input fields up to the MAX levels represented in the Max Resources by Machine

Note: You must NOT change the number of machines for this to work correctly. If you do make a change to the number of machines, then the resource levels will automatically get updated.

Similarly we can apply this same process to this Input area for the Allocation Constraints -

We can adjust the vCPU / Machine input fields up to the MAX levels represented in the Max Resources by Machine for CORES
