METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DETERMINING THE CAPACITY OF AN APPLICATION CLUSTER

Abstract:

Provided in the disclosed embodiments are a method and an apparatus for obtaining a capacity of an application cluster. The method comprises: setting up a simulated application cluster to be tested, the simulated application cluster comprising at least two testing machines; performing an overall workload pressure testing on the test machines of the application cluster to obtain an average single-machine capability of the test machines; and calculating the application cluster capacity based on a total workload pressure of the application cluster and the average single-machine capability of the test machines. By setting up a simulated application cluster to be tested and performing an overall workload pressure test on multiple testing machines of the whole simulated application cluster, the disclosed embodiments can obtain a more accurate average single-machine capability of the machines that is closer to reality, thereby obtaining a more accurate capacity of the application cluster.
