Description: Resource utilization refers to the measure of how effectively the available resources in a system are being used, whether in the context of technological infrastructure, software development, or data management. This concept is fundamental in cloud computing, where resources such as CPU, memory, storage, and networks are dynamically allocated and utilized to optimize performance and reduce costs. Resource utilization can be assessed through metrics that indicate the percentage of capacity used compared to the total available capacity. High resource utilization can indicate efficiency but may also lead to bottlenecks if capacity limits are exceeded. Conversely, low utilization may signal resource waste, implying unnecessary costs. Therefore, effective management of resource utilization is crucial to ensure that organizations derive maximum value from their technology investments, enabling more agile and cost-effective operations.
