In this episode, we discuss how to monitor and verify that cloud resources are being utilized efficiently while meeting uptime targets. Resource utilization tracking includes CPU, memory, storage, and network usage, ensuring workloads are neither over-provisioned nor under-provisioned. This information supports capacity planning, cost optimization, and performance tuning. Uptime verification confirms that services meet SLA commitments, using both automated health checks and manual validation procedures.

We also cover the importance of correlating utilization data with business demand cycles to identify optimization opportunities without sacrificing availability. For the Cloud+ exam, you’ll need to know how to measure and interpret both utilization and uptime to maintain operational efficiency.
