Operations discovers EC2 instances sized for a peak load that never arrives. Which cloud economics practice should the city apply?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
An XL instance sitting idle is like renting a moving truck for a backpack. Rightsizing means match the truck to the load you actually have. Peak-that-never-comes sizing burns budget without buying better service.
Full Explanation
Rightsizing is matching compute and related resources to observed need rather than leaving chronically oversized capacity. It is a core cloud economics practice for Cloud Practitioner. Oversizing for a peak that does not materialize increases cost without proportional value.
