9798257523892 - Enterprise Capacity Management: a Practical Primer for Hybrid and Cloud Systems: 1 Site Reliability Engineering by Bailey, John (1 results)

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Modern systems don't run out of capacity-they fail because no one understands where the limits actually are. Enterprise capacity management has never been more important-or more misunderstood. Despite the promise of infinite cloud scalability, organizations continue to struggle with performance bottlenecks, runaway costs, and unpredictable failures. In Enterprise Capacity Management: A Practical Primer for Hybrid and Cloud Systems, John Bailey provides a clear, practical framework for understanding how capacity actually works across modern infrastructure. Covering physical systems, virtualization, cloud platforms, containers, and serverless architectures, this book bridges the gap between traditional capacity planning and today's distributed environments. Rather than overwhelming the reader with theory, this book focuses on actionable insight: Why "just scale" is a dangerous mythHow performance, cost, and risk are fundamentally linkedWhere capacity constraints really exist in cloud and Kubernetes environmentsWhich metrics matter-and which ones misleadHow to forecast demand without overengineeringThis book is designed for engineers and leaders who need to make better decisions, not build academic models. It provides the mental frameworks required to operate systems intentionally rather than reactively. Whether you are an SRE, infrastructure engineer, architect, or technology leader, this primer will give you the foundation to understand-and control-capacity in modern systems.
