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