Update the utilisation guidance to avoid overutilisation

Open regularfry opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

The Kingman formula tells you what happens when a resource has 100% utilisation, and it's not good:

Any system that has a latency constraint wants to be very careful about approaching 100% utilisation. I've reworded the advice here from aiming at 100% to aiming at 80%, which is a fairly safe amount of headroom.

This obviously doesn't apply to elastic on-demand infrastructure except where we are controlling autoscaling parameters.
