Abstract
A method for scaling is provided. The method of scaling may include determining a predicted workload of a multi-tier application for a defined time period. A change in application capacity for the predicted workload may be determined. A scaling strategy may be dynamically selected for the change in application capacity. The scaling strategy may include vertical scaling and horizontal scaling.
