Predictability vs Preformance Predictability

Question

I just need more clarification about these two types of Predictability. Because to me they are kind of the same thing aren't they? Or is Predictability more a general idea and Performance Predictability is more of a singular idea?

This question is related to the following Learning Module

Answer 1

In the context of Azure, Predictability is a broader concept that refers to the ability to anticipate and rely on certain behaviors, outcomes, or performance metrics of a service or application over time. This can encompass various factors, such as uptime, response times, and resource availability.

On the other hand, Performance Predictability is a more specific aspect of predictability focused specifically on the consistency and reliability of performance metrics, such as latency, throughput, and resource utilization under different conditions. It emphasizes the ability to expect stable performance levels regardless of changes in load or other variables.

Effectively, while both terms relate to reliability and expectations, Predictability is a general idea, and Performance Predictability is a focused concept that deals specifically with performance-related metrics.
