Deux strat\u00e9gies s&rsquo;offrent alors : renforcer une machine existante ou en ajouter d&rsquo;autres. Ce choix \u2014 scaling vertical ou horizontal \u2014 structure la fa\u00e7on dont un service absorbe la croissance et r\u00e9siste aux pannes.<\/p>\n\n<h2>Le scaling vertical : monter en puissance<\/h2>\n<p>Le scaling vertical consiste \u00e0 augmenter les ressources d&rsquo;une m\u00eame machine : plus de processeurs, plus de m\u00e9moire, plus de stockage. C&rsquo;est l&rsquo;approche la plus simple : rien \u00e0 r\u00e9architecturer, on remplace une machine par une plus puissante. Elle convient parfaitement tant que les besoins restent dans les limites d&rsquo;un seul serveur.<\/p>\n\n<h2>Sa limite<\/h2>\n<p>Une machine a un plafond physique : on ne peut pas l&rsquo;agrandir ind\u00e9finiment. Pass\u00e9 un certain point, le scaling vertical devient co\u00fbteux, puis impossible. De plus, une machine unique reste un point de d\u00e9faillance : si elle tombe, tout tombe.<\/p>\n\n<h2>Le scaling horizontal : multiplier les machines<\/h2>\n<p>Le scaling horizontal r\u00e9partit la charge sur plusieurs machines qui travaillent en parall\u00e8le, coordonn\u00e9es par un r\u00e9partiteur de charge. On ajoute des machines \u00e0 mesure que la demande cro\u00eet, sans plafond th\u00e9orique. C&rsquo;est l&rsquo;approche des grands services web.<\/p>\n\n<h2>Sa complexit\u00e9<\/h2>\n<p>Cette \u00e9lasticit\u00e9 a un prix : l&rsquo;application doit \u00eatre con\u00e7ue pour fonctionner sur plusieurs machines. Cela suppose notamment de g\u00e9rer l&rsquo;\u00e9tat de fa\u00e7on partag\u00e9e, car une requ\u00eate peut \u00eatre trait\u00e9e par n&rsquo;importe quelle instance. Toutes les applications ne s&rsquo;y pr\u00eatent pas sans adaptation.<\/p>\n\n<h2>Le bon choix selon le contexte<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Besoins mod\u00e9r\u00e9s et pr\u00e9visibles : le <strong>scaling vertical<\/strong> suffit et reste plus simple.<\/li>\n<li>Forte croissance, pics importants, exigence de r\u00e9silience : le <strong>scaling horizontal<\/strong> s&rsquo;impose.<\/li>\n<li>Beaucoup de projets commencent vertical et \u00e9voluent vers l&rsquo;horizontal.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>L&rsquo;id\u00e9al est de choisir un \u00e9cosyst\u00e8me qui permet les deux, pour \u00e9viter une migration douloureuse le jour o\u00f9 la limite verticale est atteinte. Les offres d&rsquo;OVHcloud, du serveur au cloud \u00e9lastique, permettent de faire \u00e9voluer cette strat\u00e9gie au rythme du projet, sur une infrastructure europ\u00e9enne coh\u00e9rente.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Renforcer une machine ou en multiplier plusieurs : deux strat\u00e9gies de mont\u00e9e en charge aux logiques et aux limites diff\u00e9rentes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1137,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-137","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-performance-donnees-medias"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/webhostingproduct.ovh\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/137","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/webhostingproduct.ovh\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/webhostingproduct.ovh\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/webhostingproduct.ovh\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/webhostingproduct.ovh\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=137"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/webhostingproduct.ovh\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/137\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/webhostingproduct.ovh\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=137"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/webhostingproduct.ovh\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=137"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/webhostingproduct.ovh\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=137"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
