Patent 12020036 was granted and assigned to Red Hat on June, 2024 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
A method includes monitoring, during a first time interval, traffic associated with one or more applications executed by a cluster of compute nodes and determining, in view of the traffic associated with the one or more applications during the first time interval, that the traffic is predicted to exceed a capacity threshold of the cluster of compute nodes at an end of a second time interval. The method further includes initiating startup of an additional compute node to be added to the cluster of compute nodes for executing replicas of the one or more applications.
