ADVSUS07-BP01 Incorporate an improvement process to reduce low utilization and idle resources or maximize the output from resources
Advertising workloads are changing at a rapid rate. As changes are introduced consider which resources are the most efficient and where resources can be removed. Use automation to create and remove infrastructure as needed.
Implementation guidance
-
Establish a cadence to revisit SLAs with advertising partners.
-
Prioritize how to reduce use when over-provisioning is identified (for example, start with compute, then storage, then network usage).
-
Continue to iterate with advertising partners on reducing the infrastructure needed for a minimum viable representation of production for testing.
-
Use infrastructure as code (IaC) to set up a test environment, so they can be removed when a testing or staging environment is no longer needed but easily recreated when beneficial.
