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.
