Your client's application is hosted on cloud-based virtual servers and has shown consistent underutilization of computing resources over the past several months. Peak processing power usage has not exceeded 40%, with typical operation around a quarter of the available capacity. As a cloud consultant, what would you suggest to the client for optimizing their virtual server usage?
Relocate the application to a geographical location with lower operational costs for similar server configurations.
Transition to more powerful server configurations anticipating future workload increase.
Resize to a less resource-intensive virtual server configuration to match the application's usage pattern.
Scale out by provisioning additional servers to enhance the application's fault tolerance.
The practice of rightsizing involves adjusting the service configuration to align with actual usage in order to optimize costs. Since the application's processing power usage peaks at only 40%, resizing the virtual servers to a smaller capacity is recommended. This would reduce expenses while still meeting performance needs. Upgrading to more capable servers, operating in another region, or adding more servers do not match the usage pattern and would likely result in unnecessary spending.
