Q: Do we have any visibility via Cloudamize on what traffic that goes via the Netscalers?
A: Cloudamize does not support the data collection from the container/Pod. The Cloudamize Agent may be able to collect the data if installed on individual servers but not the container itself. Cloudamize doesn’t support Kubernetes/Container instance recommendations. Currently, we only support VM recommendations.
Q: Could you explain how cache memory is measured and processed in the reports at the end of the measurements?
A. Cloudamize queries the OS directly on cached memory, but does not display this info directly in the results. The Sizing results consider cache memory usage when determining memory usage. Memory usage = Total memory - free Memory - cached. The only related metric we expose is the peak used memory in the infrastructure details. Currently Available (GB): Available memory on the customer’s machine. Peak Used (GB): 95th percentile of all observed/adjusted daily peak memory usage on the customer machine.
