Let's make an example to understand rightsizing better. Suppose you have an application hosted in an EC2 instance, and you often see your CPU utilization at around 70%, even with minimal users, and you notice performance degradations, for example, when all your users are active, or your application performs a compute intensive task. You might have an under-provisioned EC2 instance. A computing resource is under-provisioned when it does not meet the performance…
