Application rightsizing and resource consolidation for server systems

A non-transitory, computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by one or more processing resources, are configured to cause the one or more processing resources to:

• receive a definition of goals for rightsizing and consolidating one or more server nodes of a server system;
• receive a specification of a trigger for optimization of the server system;
• find one or more sets of application runtime configurations for the server system;
• perform a trend analysis on a first set of the one or more sets of application runtime configurations;
• predict performance with consolidation of the one or more server nodes based at least in part on the trend analysis;
• confirm that the predicted performance matches the goals to verify that the first set satisfies the goals;
• and
• in response to the predicted performance matching the goals, implement the first set of the one or more sets of application runtime configurations in the server system.
