Abstract
A current workload associated with a computing infrastructure is monitored for a change in the current workload. A first cost value is computed wherein the first cost value indicates a cost associated with scaling a current resource configuration for the computing infrastructure to respond to the change to the current workload. A second cost value is computed wherein the second cost value indicates a cost associated with ignoring the change to the current workload and maintaining the current resource configuration for the computing infrastructure. The first cost value and the second cost value are compared. A determination is made whether to scale or maintain the current resource configuration based on the comparison of the first cost value and the second cost value.
