During the cloud design assessment, it is critical to ensure that sufficient consumer resources exist to support application elasticity. This means there must be enough computing resources available to handle the scaling of applications as triggered internally by the developers. Without adequate resources, the self-scaling mechanism cannot function properly, leading to performance issues or application downtime.
When designing a packaged PaaS solution with the primary concern of application portability, the focus should be on selecting technologies that enable portable PaaS architectures. This typically includes technologies like operating system containers, PaaS frameworks, and container-orchestration-based approaches which ensure that applications can be easily moved and run in different environments. Therefore, the consideration that focuses on portability is choosing a technology that enables portable PaaS architectures.
