About this course
This course develops practical capability in Capacity Planning. Its course-specific content covers Demand modelling, Resource baselines, Capacity experiments, Planning report, followed by an applied project focused on forecast service capacity from measured demand. The lessons include concrete configuration, design, testing or operational decisions appropriate to the subject.
Who this is for
Administrators, developers and practitioners who work with Capacity Planning or plan to take on responsibilities in this area.
Before you start
Basic computer literacy and a foundational understanding of monitoring, observability & sre. Prior experience with the named product helps with the practical exercises.
Forecast service capacity from measured demand
Deliver forecast service capacity from measured demand. Use the module outcomes to state requirements, demonstrate a working result, test an expected failure or boundary case, and document assumptions and follow-up work.
Course content
Course-specific syllabus and practical exercises. Lab release, access arrangements and final delivery scope are confirmed before enrolment.
01Demand modelling
+
- Traffic patterns and growth assumptions
- Peak-to-average variation and uncertainty
Practical exerciseApply demand modelling to the forecast service capacity from measured demand and capture the validation evidence.
02Resource baselines
+
- CPU, memory, storage and network use
- Service limits and utilisation thresholds
Practical exerciseApply resource baselines to the forecast service capacity from measured demand and capture the validation evidence.
03Capacity experiments
+
- Load steps and saturation points
- Headroom, scaling delays and failure capacity
Practical exerciseApply capacity experiments to the forecast service capacity from measured demand and capture the validation evidence.
04Planning report
+
- Build a forecast with explicit assumptions
- Recommend scaling triggers and revisit dates
Practical exerciseApply planning report to the forecast service capacity from measured demand and capture the validation evidence.
05Applied project: Forecast service capacity from measured demand
+
- Define inputs, assumptions and acceptance criteria for: Forecast service capacity from measured demand.
- Implement the project using demand modelling, resource baselines, capacity experiments, planning report.
Practical exerciseForecast service capacity from measured demand.
06Capacity Planning — validation and review
+
- Demonstrate the completed project against its acceptance criteria.
- Exercise an invalid-input or failure scenario and document the observed result.
Practical exercisepresent the project evidence, limitations and a repeatable handover.
