Abstract
A method includes selecting a given workload associated with at least one application type, and analyzing the given workload to determine a set of functional patterns describing resource structures for implementing functionality of the at least one application type. The method also includes determining resource consumption demand profiles for each of the set of functional patterns and determining micro workload distributions for each of the resource consumption demand profiles, a given one of the micro workload distributions comprising a number of micro workloads, each micro workload comprising a normalized unit of resource consumption metrics. The method further includes converting the micro workload distributions for each of the resource consumption demand profiles into a set of resource requirements for running the given workload on an information technology infrastructure, and allocating resources of the information technology infrastructure to the given workload based on the set of resource requirements.
