Method and System for Managing Resource Capability in a Service-Centric System

A system comprising:

• a processor;
• a data bus coupled to the processor;
• and
• a computer-usable medium embodying computer program code, the computer-usable medium being coupled to the data bus, the computer program code used for managing resource capacity for the provision of cloud-based services and comprising instructions executable by the processor and configured for:
• generating a capacity-weighted graph configured to receive application deployment and undeployment data associated with of a plurality of applications implemented within a cloud computing environment;
• processing a first set of application deployment and undeployment data to:
• perform a first update of the capacity-weighted graph to reflect a first set of deployed applications;
• and
• determine a first set of resource dependencies associated with the first set of deployed applications;
• monitoring current consumption of a first set of services associated with the first set of deployed applications;
• and
• monitoring requests from the first set of deployed applications to predict the need for the provision of a first set of additional services for consumption at runtime.

A non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium embodying computer program code, the computer program code comprising computer executable instructions configured for:

• generating a capacity-weighted graph configured to receive application deployment and undeployment data associated with of a plurality of applications implemented within a cloud computing environment;
• processing a first set of application deployment and undeployment data to:
• perform a first update of the capacity-weighted graph to reflect a first set of deployed applications;
• and
• determine a first set of resource dependencies associated with the first set of deployed applications;
• monitoring current consumption of a first set of services associated with the first set of deployed applications;
• and
• monitoring requests from the first set of deployed applications to predict the need for the provision of a first set of additional services for consumption at runtime.
