DRHCPERF01-BP02 Monitor hybrid edge-specific metrics, and update resource configurations

Monitor your current capacity and plan for scaling to meet demand.

Desired outcome: You are aware of what capacity you have, and you scale as needed.

Benefits of establishing this best practice: You can proactively make decisions to acquire the appropriate capacity for your workloads.

Level of risk exposed if this best practice is not established: Medium

Implementation guidance

Outposts surfaces Amazon CloudWatch metric data, including CPU, network, and storage. You should monitor these metrics as you would in-Region to verify that you are achieving your performance targets. Monitor your resource consumption, and right-size compute and storage configurations based on the metric data. This is an iterative process as workloads change over time. Each server has a specific slotting configuration based on initial order. This can be modified based on metric data as long as the configuration is supported by the underlying server. For supported configurations, see Modify AWS Outposts instance capacity.
