Strategically collocating services based on usage patterns and workload compatibility Strategic collocation of services based on usage patterns and workload compatibility can optimize performance and resource utilization for a medium-sized organization, balancing cost and efficiency. Option A is incorrect because collocating all services on a single node might not provide the best performance balance. Option B is incorrect as isolating each service can lead to unnecessary resource utilization and increased costs. Option D is incorrect because random distribution does not ensure an efficient or effective balance of load and resources.
