Maximum resource consumption is what will help predict the operational expenditures in the cloud for an application that is being migrated from on premises to a public cloud provider. Operational expenditures are the ongoing costs of running and maintaining a system or service, such as cloud resources or services. Operational expenditures can vary depending on various factors, such as usage, demand, performance, etc. Maximum resource consumption is the highest amount of resources or capacity that are used or consumed by a system or service during peak periods of activity or load. Maximum resource consumption can help predict operational expenditures in the cloud by providing information such as:

Resource type: This indicates what type of resources are used or consumed by the system or service, such as compute, storage, network, etc.

Resource amount: This indicates how much of each resource type are used or consumed by the system or service, such as CPU cores, memory, disk space, bandwidth, etc.

Resource price: This indicates how much each resource type costs in the cloud provider’s pricing model, such as per hour, per GB, per Mbps, etc.
