Abstract
In a virtualized data processing system where an operating system assigns resources to a virtualized computing entity (VCE) according to a container configuration of the VCE, and by using performance data corresponding to a type of the VCE, an initial resource allocation for a new VCE is computed at an initialization of the new VCE. The performance data includes at least a processor utilization information corresponding to the type of VCE for a past period. An operation of the new VCE is initiated using the initial resource allocation. New performance data is collected from the operation of the new VCE. For a future period of operation of the new VCE, a resource requirement is forecasted. An instruction to a provisioning system is constructed, specifying a portion of the resource requirement and the future period, which causes the provisioning system to adjust the initial resource allocation.
