Predictive cloud provisioning based on human behaviors and heuristics

A computer system, comprising:

• a processor for executing the computer readable instructions to perform a method comprising:
• monitoring a collection of world or local events relating to a customer application, wherein monitoring comprises evaluating a plurality of data feeds comprising a selected one or more of news feeds, network statistics, weather reports, social networking data, and company data;
• monitoring an infrastructure load on resources for the customer application;
• evaluating a causal relationship between a particular event from the collection of world or local events and the infrastructure load based on historical data obtained from a heuristic database, wherein evaluating the causal relationship comprises heuristic analysis to update a behavioral rule based on a causal link in human responses to the particular event;
• constructing a predictive rule based on the causal relationship, wherein the predictive rule forecasts future human responses to a future occurrence of the particular event;
• anticipating resource requirements based on the predictive rule;
• and
• requesting a provisioning of cloud resources in a service domain for the anticipated resource requirements.
