ECO-ARC-ARCH-001 — Over-provisioned compute¶

Category: Architecture (ARC)
Family: Architecture (ARCH)
Layer: Architecture
Tier: 3
Severity: warning
Tags: rightsizing, utilization, cost, carbon
Legacy ID: ECO-ARCH-001

Summary¶

Sustained low utilization suggests oversized instances or replicas.

Over-provisioning is continuous waste: cost and emissions without benefit.
