Why each option
Given an IaaS system is operating at only 20% capacity, the project manager should resize the resource utilization to reflect current needs, optimizing costs and efficiency.
Continuing to monitor without acting on significant underutilization is fiscally irresponsible as it prolongs unnecessary costs.
If an IaaS system is running at only 20% capacity, it indicates significant underutilization, meaning the organization is likely paying for resources it doesn't need. The most appropriate action is to resize or scale down the allocated resources to match the actual current usage, thereby optimizing costs and efficiency of the cloud infrastructure.
Reinforcing adoption addresses user engagement, but the question is about system capacity and contract extension, implying a need to optimize existing resources, not necessarily drive higher usage if the current usage is the actual need.
While it could be an issue, the primary action for underutilized cloud resources is to adjust the provisioning, not just log it without taking direct action.
