Abstract
An apparatus comprises a processing device configured to generate a model characterizing relationships between devices in an information technology infrastructure, to build a device dependency chain for the devices based at least in part on the generated model, and to predict workload for each of the devices in each of two or more time slots of a given time period. The processing device is also configured to determine a deployment schedule for the devices based at least in part on the device dependency chain and the predicted workload for each of the devices in each of the two or more time slots of the given time period, to identify an operation to be performed on the devices, and to utilize the deployment schedule to select ones of the devices on which to perform the identified operation in each of the two or more time slots of the given time period.
