Abstract
A processing device determines that utilization of a resource that is executing a workload meets a utilization threshold. The resource is part of multiple resources in a cluster. The processing device determines that no other resource of the cluster has available capacity for a transfer of a workload or a portion of a workload from the resource to the other resource, and determines a change to implement in a physical configuration of the cluster in view of no other resource having available capacity. The processing device sends a message over a network to implement the change, without user interaction, to the physical configuration of the cluster. The change includes adding a new physical resources to the cluster.
