Skill UI

This skill generates a comprehensive capacity plan document for any service. It assists technical teams in proactively managing infrastructure by modeling traffic growth, forecasting resource utilization (CPU, memory, connections), projecting costs, and defining clear scaling strategies. Use this when assessing current resource headroom, planning for seasonal peaks, or defining a long-term infrastructure action roadmap.

This guide provides comprehensive best practices for designing and auditing cloud system evaluations, particularly for academic submissions. It mandates that claims must be supported by measured evidence from real or realistic deployments, moving beyond simple simulations. Key metrics emphasized include tail latency (p99), operational cost modeling, and verifiable behavior under scale and multi-tenancy.

This guide details the rigorous academic review process for ACM Symposium on Cloud Computing (SoCC) submissions. It explains the dual-anonymous, two-round review structure, the importance of incorporating both systems performance and data measurement rigor (including tail latency and cost), and how the rebuttal period functions. Essential reading for authors aiming to publish in top-tier cloud computing venues.
