Adaptive system provisioning

A computer configured to access a storage device, the computer comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium storing computer-readable instructions that when executed by the processor cause the computer to perform:
• determining a plurality of configuration entries based on received provisioning requests and further based on provisioning system resource utilization data, each configuration entry comprising:
• a corresponding virtual system template;
• and
• a corresponding number of virtual systems to be provisioned;
• provisioning the corresponding number of virtual systems for a first configuration entry in the plurality of configuration entries, wherein the corresponding number of virtual systems are provisioned based on the corresponding virtual system template for the first configuration entry;
• storing the provisioned virtual systems in a resource pool;
• and
• processing a provisioning request utilizing a pre-provisioned virtual system stored in the resource pool.

A computer program product comprising:

• a computer-readable storage medium having computer-readable program code embodied therewith, the computer-readable program code comprising:
• computer-readable program code configured to determine a plurality of configuration entries based on received provisioning requests and further based on provisioning system resource utilization data, each configuration entry comprising:
• a corresponding virtual system template;
• and
• a corresponding number of virtual systems to be provisioned;
• computer-readable program code configured to provision the corresponding number of virtual systems for a first configuration entry in the plurality of configuration entries, wherein the corresponding number of virtual systems are provisioned based on the corresponding virtual system template for the first configuration entry;
• computer-readable program code configured to store the provisioned virtual systems in a resource pool;
• and
• computer-readable program code configured to process a provisioning request utilizing a pre-provisioned virtual system stored in the resource pool.
