Chapter 4. Performance Monitoring

In this chapter, we will pe into performance, a well-known term that has taken a completely new meaning in SDDC. In fact, if you use the definition from HDDC, you will have difficulty reaching an agreement with the application team (your customers) on where the performance issue lies.

After setting the scene with a familiar story, we will cover the following topics:

• What exactly is performance?
• How performance, capacity, and availability are related.
• Performance SLA, with actual sample values you can use as a guide.
