Performance measurement - Microsoft Workloads Lens - AWS Well-Architected Framework

Performance measurement

Measuring and monitoring performance is essential for maintaining optimal efficiency of Microsoft workloads over time. This involves using historical data to establish performance baselines, defining performance requirements, and implementing monitoring systems that can detect anomalies and optimization opportunities. By establishing comprehensive performance measurement practices, organizations can proactively identify issues, optimize resource utilization, and ensure their Microsoft workloads continue to meet performance expectations as requirements evolve.

MSFTPERF04: How do you measure performance requirements changes and anomalies?

Determine your Microsoft workload's typical operational metrics by analyzing past performance data. Configure notification systems to alert IT personnel when significant variations from these norms occur. Create and document protocols for technical staff to rectify such anomalies, utilizing both human-driven and automated correction methods. This strategy facilitates preemptive oversight of the workload efficiency and contributes to overall system stability.
