Systems and methods for sizing resources in a cloud-based environment

A method comprising:

• executing instructions stored in memory, the instructions to be executed by a processor to:
• receive quality of service requirements associated with an application;
• based on the quality of service requirements,
• determine a cloud architecture for the application to guarantee quality of service;
• perform latency analysis on data packets in communications between the application and an optimal application resources;
• based on the latency analysis, determine sizes of resources included in the cloud architecture;
• and
• provide resources and the sizes of resources to the data center.

A system for sizing resources in a cloud-based environment, the system comprising:

• a memory for storing executable instructions for sizing the resources;
• a processor configured to execute the instructions stored in the memory to:
• receive quality of service requirements and a functional description of a cloud architecture associated with a cloud application, the cloud architecture including application resources and relations between the application resources;
• perform latency analysis of data packets in a compute layer of the cloud architecture, the latency analysis including comparing size per time metrics of the data packets;
• determine a minimal cloud architecture for the application based on the latency analysis and the quality of service requirements, the minimal cloud architecture including the application resources to guarantee the quality of service requirements;
• and
• provide to a data center the minimal cloud architecture.
