Abstract

In some embodiments, infrastructure data and service data is received for a computing infrastructure. The infrastructure data indicates resources in the computing infrastructure, and the service data indicates services to be orchestrated across the computing infrastructure. An infrastructure capacity model is generated, which indicates a capacity of the computing infrastructure over a particular time window. Service-to-resource placement options are also identified, which indicate possible placements of the services across the resources over the particular time window. Resource inventory data is obtained, which indicates an inventory of resources that are available to add to the computing infrastructure during the particular time window. An infrastructure capacity plan is then generated, which indicates resource capacity allocation options over the time slots of the particular time window. Resource capacities for the services are then allocated in the computing infrastructure.
