Fine-grained capacity management of computing environments that may support a database

A system that includes one or more processors, wherein the one or more processor are operable to:

• determine at least partly based on a target capacity associated with a computing environment whether to change processing capacity of at least one processor in the computing environment from a first processing capacity to a different processing capacity;
• and
• change the processing capacity of the at least one processor from the first processing capacity to a second processing capacity which is different than the first processing capacity when the determining determines to change the processing capacity of the at least one processor from the first processing capacity to a different processing capacity.

A non-transient computer readable storage medium storing at least excitable code operable to manage computing capacity of a computing system in relation to a target capacity of the computing system, wherein the computing system includes at least one processor, and wherein the executable code includes:

• executable code that when executed determines at least partly based on the target capacity of the computing system whether to change processing capacity of the at least one processor from a first processing capacity to a different processing capacity;
• and
• executable code that when executed changes the processing capacity of the at least one processor from the first processing capacity to a second processing capacity which is different than the first processing capacity when the determining determines to change the processing capacity of the at least one processor from the first processing capacity to a different processing capacity.
