Abstract
Network capacity is provisioned in a computing environment comprising a computing service provider and an edge computing network. A cost function is applied to usage data for a number of user endpoints at the edge computing network, a number and type of workloads at the edge computing network, offload capability of the edge computing network, and resource capacities at the edge computing network. An estimated network capacity is determined, where the workloads are dynamic, and the cost function is usable to optimize the network capacity with respect to one or more criteria.
