Calculating IOPS Utilization for EBS Volumes

When looking at an EBS volume in CloudWisdom, you’ll notice that in addition to the metrics we collect from AWS, we also create a number of computed metrics, one of which is netuitive.aws.ebs.iopsutilization. Simply put, IOPS Utilization compares the current number of IOPS that the disk is performing against the total IOPS capacity, and expresses this as a percentage. Thus, if you are currently running 1050 IOPS against a volume whose capacity is 3000 IOPS, the IOPS Utilization would be 35%.

Since its coming from a Management Pack like any other data, it is actually pretty much the same as treating any other Management Pack in SCOM, with different classes.

Kubernetes vs. Docker

Kubernetes and Docker each play a vital role in modern, microservices-based application development. Since Kubernetes and Docker work in unison to help develop, deploy, and manage large-scale applications – they are not mutually exclusive technologies and they are certainly not in competition with each other. Nevertheless, Kubernetes and Docker are often misunderstood by the non-developer community. To clear up the confusion around Kubernetes vs. Docker, we’ve written this guide.
