Episode 156 — Troubleshooting Scaling and Capacity — Compute, Storage, Bandwidth
Show notes
In this episode, we focus on diagnosing issues where scaling configurations fail to meet demand or capacity is exceeded. Compute-related problems may arise when auto-scaling rules are misconfigured, instance limits are reached, or workloads are not properly balanced. Storage issues often occur due to hitting provisioned capacity limits, performance throttling, or inefficient allocation. Bandwidth bottlenecks can be caused by network congestion, suboptimal routing, or overutilized links.
We also discuss tools and techniques for identifying the resource under stress, adjusting scaling policies, and reallocating or optimizing capacity. On the Cloud+ exam, understanding how to isolate scaling problems and apply corrective measures is critical to maintaining service availability and performance.
