Patent attributes
Systems and apparatuses for provisioning computer services or resources and methods for making and using the same. In one embodiment, an exemplary method for performing an iterative search can include selecting a service from a group of available services for adjustment. An application associated with the selected service can be run, and an amount of resources consumed while the application is run can be captured. A provision level for the selected service, a provision type for the selected service or both can be adjusted based upon the captured amount of resources consumed. The method then can determine whether provision levels of the available services, provision types of the available services or both require further adjustment to be most performant. The approaches described herein advantageously can be applied, for example, to “right-size” or “scale” multiple resources.
