Self-managed intelligent elastic cloud stack

A system for real-time control of cloud computing resources allocated to an active cloud stack, comprising:

• a repository for storing a first predictive model and cloud stack configuration;
• and
• processing circuitry in communication with the repository and with the active cloud stack, the processing circuitry configured to:
• identify a first collection of software components of a software stack of the active cloud stack as an upstream layer of the software stack based on the cloud stack configuration;
• identify a second collection of software components of the software stack as a middle layer of the software stack based on the cloud stack configuration, wherein the middle layer consumes data generated by the upstream layer;
• and
• iteratively cause adjustment of computing resources allocated to the upstream layer and the middle layer of the software stack by:
• communicating, by the processing circuitry, with the active cloud stack to obtain cloud resource utilization parameters for the software stack in real-time;
• extracting, by the processing circuitry, a first real-time resource utilization measure of the upstream layer and a second real-time resource utilization measure of the middle layer based on the cloud resource utilization parameters;
• and
• upon determining by the processing circuitry that the first real-time resource utilization measure is outside a first predetermined range:
• calculating, by the processing circuitry, a predicted resource utilization of the middle layer based on the first real-time resource utilization measure and using the first predictive model;
• and
• when the second real-time resource utilization measure of the middle layer is unexpectedly higher or lower than the predicted resource utilization of the middle layer, generating by the processing circuitry a first instruction for adjusting the computing resources allocated to the upstream layer and the middle layer by a first predetermined amount, and sending by the processing circuitry the first instruction to the active cloud stack for execution.
