Abstract

An autoscale-type performance assurance system performs autoscaling to increase or reduce the number of VMs/containers V1 to V4 generated in a server and resources of V1 to V4. A compute includes a plurality of types of V1 to V4, a data collection unit that collects a resource allocation amount of V1 to V4, and a resource control unit that performs autoscaling to increase or reduce the amount of resources of V1 to V4 according to a resource control amount. A controller includes a dependency calculation unit that calculates, based on the collected resource allocation amount, a degree of dependency indicating whether the resource allocation amount is dependent on a performance related to V1 to V4 for providing a communication service quality, and an autoscaling determination unit that obtains a resource control amount for increasing or reducing only resources related to the calculated degree of dependency indicating being dependent.
