Overview
- In this report, PTF investigates the impact of setting CPU allocations to 0 units across all tasks within an AWS ECS cluster. The purpose of this study is to determine whether removing CPU constraints reveals the actual CPU usage of the tasks and to assess how this adjustment affects overall performance. By comparing key workflows across different environments, we aim to identify any potential changes in efficiency, throughput, or resource utilization that may result from setting CPU = 0. The findings from these tests will help inform best practices for resource allocation and performance optimization within ECS clusters.
