Program Setup program-setup

After onboarding, the business owner completes the initial setup of the program including setting the program description and defining the key performance indicators (KPIs), which are used for performance testing.

  6. On the Provisioning tab, you can define the on-demand scaling options for your environments if autoscaling is enabled for your program.

    • Autoscaling is applicable to production environment only and may not be available for all customer programs.

  7. Click Save to complete the setup wizard.

Your program will be created. It may take several minutes for resources to be provisioned before the program is ready for use.

Editing a Program editing-program

Switching Between Programs swithing-programs

When working on a program, you can quickly switch to another program without returning to the Cloud Manager overview page.

Use the action bar to switch to another program, edit the current program, or add a new program.

KPIs kpis

Sites KPIs are measured on tests run on the staging environment. Typically, these KPIs are scaled down to fit the capabilities of the staging environment.

For example, a user expecting an average of 1000 page views per minute in their production environment and has four dispatcher/publishing servers in production should scale this to 250 page views per minute. This assumes that their staging environment consists of only a single dispatcher/publish server pair.

Assets performance testing is done by uploading assets repeatedly during a 30 minute test period and measuring the processing time for each asset as well as various system-level metrics.

You may have a content delivery network (CDN) such as Akamai or CloudFront in front of your production environment. Since Cloud Manager tests against the staging environment directly, the KPI should reflect only the traffic expected to pass through the CDN, that is, the cache misses. Typically this will be a relatively small subset of the total production traffic.
