Abstract
An apparatus comprises a processing device configured to generate a model of a plurality of devices characterizing relationships between the devices, to build a device dependency chain for the devices based on the model, to predict workload for each of the devices in one or more time slots of a given time period, and to determine a deployment schedule for the devices based on the device dependency chain and the predicted workload. The processing device is also configured to utilize the deployment schedule to select a device of the devices on which to perform an operation, to determine whether the selected device corresponds to an additional device of the devices configured to operate in place of the selected device during performance of the operation, and to control performance of the operation on the selected device responsive to the determination of whether the selected device corresponds to the additional device.
