A company has a business-critical VM. The VM Utilization of CPU and memory differs from time to time, but can never be allowed to run out of resources. The administrator also wants to make sure that the VM is not over provisioned when not needed.The administrator determines these requirements that have been validated and automated in a test environment should also apply for the production environment:VCPU needs to be added when CPU Utilization been over 80% for 15 minutes.Memory needs to be increased by 4 GB when utilization reaches 80%.Return of over-allocated resources must not affect other business applications.What can the administrator do with the least amount of effort to make sure the VM is always performant and returns resources when not required?
