Architect Monitor Manage
Recommendations
Use dashboards to gather information
on computer, memory, network, and
storage consumption. Use Grafana
and Prometheus to manage app
resource utilization.
Set an expiration date for VMs or
services spun up for the purposes of
test/ dev/ demo. Test locally where
you can. Refactor code to reduce
computing needs.
Architect to maximize the benefits of
Content Delivery Network CDN.
Beware the hidden costs of the cloud
when working in data intensive
services.
