Stress on the  Cluster

Contention

Wrong question ?

[sxnxr · Accepted solution]

two separate metrics

Stress is the utilisation of a resource that goes above a threshold defined in your policy. If you set your "Stress zone" at 70% and above and a VM's CPU usage goes into that "Stress zone" it will be classed as stressed

Contention is to do with a resource waiting to long to access the physical hardware. Nothing to do with utilisation used in the stress calculation.

Will Stress and Usage is the same ?

[sxnxr]

Stress is a zone (70% or above by default)

Usage is usage
