Description: Load analysis is the process of examining and evaluating workload patterns in a computing system, especially in cloud environments. This analysis allows organizations to understand how their resources are utilized and when demand peaks occur. By identifying these patterns, companies can optimize the scaling of their resources, ensuring that adequate capacity is available during critical times without incurring unnecessary costs. Load analysis relies on the collection of historical and real-time data on CPU usage, memory, storage, and bandwidth, enabling future needs to be anticipated and infrastructure to be proactively adjusted. This practice is essential for cloud auto-scaling, where resources can be automatically adjusted based on demand, ensuring optimal performance and a smooth user experience. Additionally, load analysis contributes to capacity planning, helping organizations make informed decisions about resource acquisition and cost management in various computing environments.
