Which DRS score indicates that a virtual machine is facing severe resource contention?

A DRS score indicating that a virtual machine is facing severe resource contention is represented by a lower percentage, which reflects the allocation of resources available to the VM relative to its demand. In this scenario, a score of 15% illustrates that the virtual machine is significantly under-resourced, meaning that there is a considerable gap between the resources that the VM requires to function optimally and what is actually available to it.

When the DRS score drops to this level, it typically signals that the VM is experiencing performance degradation due to insufficient resources—likely impacting its responsiveness and overall functionality. Therefore, a score of 15% is a clear indicator of critical resource contention, necessitating immediate attention to alleviate the pressure on the VM.

Higher scores, such as 50%, 70%, and 95%, signify varying degrees of resource availability and performance. A score of 95% would indicate that a virtual machine has ample resources, while 70% and 50% still suggest some level of contention, but not as severe as what is observed at 15%.
