Design and capacity planning would be the sum total of your compute, network and storage requirements for your workload. Once you can quantify and qualify your compute, network and storage, hardware planning becomes a lot easier. > Did I miss a document that I should have been reviewing? There is no one single doc that covers design and capacity planning for CloudStack as there are soo many moving parts. Id just start with what I have and make changes later as the workloads change.
