HNREL03-BP01 Monitor the bandwidth and scale the bandwidth as needed
Regularly monitor the bandwidth usage of your dedicated connection. If usage consistently approaches the connection limit, order additional dedicated connections and aggregate them into a LAG to increase bandwidth and resilience with minimal downtime.
Desired outcome: Avoid service degradation or outages due to bandwidth limitations by proactively scaling your hybrid connectivity.
Level of risk exposed if this best practice is not established: High
Benefits of establishing this best practice:
-
Prevent performance bottlenecks and dropped traffic
-
Enables cost-effective scaling of hybrid network connectivity
-
Supports growth in hybrid workload demand
-
Ensures seamless failover and aggregation
Implementation guidance
-
Monitor metrics for all dedicated connection and IPSec VPN links.
-
Create alarms for sustained high utilization.
-
Plan and implement LAG to aggregate bandwidth and connections.
