A workload consists of a system of services or applications that can run to fulfill a
|
||||||
|
task or carry out a business process.

Alongside the computer code that runs to carry out the task, a workload also entails
|
||||||
|
the infrastructure resources that actually run that code.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
For example, a workload that has a web element and a database element might run the
|
||||||
|
database in one {{< glossary_tooltip term_id="StatefulSet" >}} of
|
||||||
|
{{< glossary_tooltip text="pods" term_id="pod" >}} and the webserver via
|
||||||
|
a {{< glossary_tooltip term_id="Deployment" >}} that consists of many web app
|
||||||
|
{{< glossary_tooltip text="pods" term_id="pod" >}}, all alike.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The organisation running this workload may well have other workloads that together
|
||||||
|
provide a valuable outcome to its users.
