Iwan 'e1' Rahabok
Iwan 'e1' Rahabok was the first VMware SE for strategic accounts in ASEAN. Joining VMware in 2008 from Sun Microsystems, he has seen how enterprises adopt virtualization and cloud computing and reap the benefits while overcoming the challenges. It is a journey that is very much ongoing and the book reflects a subset of that undertaking.

  • A line chart showing the maximum and average RAM contention experienced by any VM in the cluster
  • A line chart showing the total number of VMs left in the cluster

You will need five super metrics, which are as follows:

  • Average (VM RAM contention) in the cluster
  • The total number of VMs left in the cluster. See tier 1, as it is the same formula with a different threshold.
