What to read next Workload rightsizingWorkloads on clouds are set to be as efficient as possible. However, common problems with the operation of virtual systems arise over time. Individual virtual machines (VMs) that run the workloads are supposed to have the right levels of processing power, memory, and disk space. Sometimes, though, they do not use what has been allocated to them, which results in inefficiency. Workload OptimizationWorkload Optimization provides for moving virtual compute resources and their file systems dynamically across datastore clusters within a data center or custom data center. Capacity PlanningVMware Cloud Sizer is a complimentary VMware Cloud service that estimates the resources required to run various workloads within VMware Cloud. OS & Application Patch ManagementOrganizations today are expected to support thousands of workloads across a wide range of device types. Parent topic: Automation
