Selecting Appropriate Network Services

The following performance metrics need to be considered for evaluating appropriate network cloud services:

• Network traffic: The expected network traffic of the workload is evaluated to understand the data transmission requirements and the frequency of network requests.
• Bandwidth requirements: The requirements are determined based on the amount of data transmitted and received over the network.
• Network latency: The latency required by the workload is evaluated. Using dedicated virtual networks and backbone networks, instead of traversing the public Internet, can effectively reduce the latency of the workload.
• Throughput: The throughput required by the workload must be considered. Configure network routing options to take advantage of network throughput.
