20. Scaling up vs out Increases baseline performance
larger instance size: scale up
larger instance count: scale out
Increases baseline performance
Usually disruptive (requires an outage)
More granular performance adjustment
Non-disruptive

21. Scaling strategy scale out larger initial instance size scale out
Keep in mind how we’re going to scale the solution to provide elasticity
scale out
smaller initial instance size
