Estimating model parameters for automatic deployment of scalable micro services

A system comprising:

• at least one memory element;
• at least one processor coupled to the at least one memory element;
• and
• a software-as-a-service (SaaS) optimizer that when executed by the at least one processor is configured to:
• determine a graph comprising interconnected stages for a SaaS, wherein each stage has a replication factor and one or more metrics that are associated with one or more service level objectives of the SaaS;
• determine a first replication factor associated with a first one of the stages which meets a first service level objective of the SaaS;
• and
• adjust the first replication factor associated with the first one of the stage based on the determined first replication factor;
• and
• a SaaS provisioner that when executed by the at least one processor is configured to provision the SaaS onto networked computing resources based on the graph and replication factors associated with each stage.

A computer-readable non-transitory medium comprising one or more instructions, for optimizing and provisioning a software-as-a-service (SaaS), that when executed on a processor configure the processor to perform one or more operations comprising:

• determining a graph comprising interconnected stages for the SaaS, wherein each stage has a replication factor and one or more metrics that are associated with one or more service level objectives of the SaaS;
• determining a first replication factor associated with a first one of the stages which meets a first service level objective of the SaaS;
• adjusting the first replication factor associated with the first one of the stage based on the determined first replication factor;
• and
• provisioning the SaaS onto networked computing resources based on the graph and replication factors associated with each stage.
