Workload capacity profile
Use this Capacity Operations (CapOps) profile as the maintained reference for one workload, not a single request. Copy all tables, replace prompts, and link demand versions, risks, and decisions. Keep normal, peak, and recovery rows separate. Repeat technical rows for each resource dimension and time slice; a profile is not complete merely because compute is documented.

“Secured” must be conditional and traceable. Forecasts, quota, financial discounts, service catalogs, multi-region design, and recovery architecture alone do not establish deployable capacity.
