SRE: Capacity Planning & Load Testing Essentials

Skillsoft issued completion badges are earned based on viewing the percentage required or receiving a passing score when assessment is required. Capacity planning and load testing are vital in site reliability engineering (SRE) to maintain system stability and performance. In this course, explore key processes for forecasting resource needs and evaluating system performance, system usage, and performance and capacity metrics. Next, learn how to set up and execute load tests using popular tools, simulate user behavior, and analyze different load scenarios. Finally, discover how to identify performance bottlenecks, implement load testing strategies, and evaluate scaling strategies to optimize system performance. After completing this course, you will be able to plan for resource capacity, execute load tests effectively, and ensure systems remain resilient under stress.
