Abstract
A technique is described herein that intelligently deploys resources in a data center for a new program. The new program has, at least in part, unknown runtime characteristics. The technique involves collecting plural input factors that provide evidence of an expected runtime behavior of the new program. It does so by identifying at least one related program that differs from the new program, but has a specified degree of relatedness to the new program. The collecting operation then obtains information that describes an amount of resources that the related program(s) consume when run. Based on at least some of the plural input factors, the technique generates an estimated amount of resources that the new program is expected to consume when it is run. The technique then determines and deploys a configuration of resources in the data center that will provide the estimated amount of resources.
