Abstract:
A method, system, and computer program product for adjusting cloud resource allocation using n-tier simulation are provided in the illustrative embodiments. In a multi-tiered simulation configuration, a combination of predictive models is executed such that each tier executes at least one predictive model to produce a corresponding set of predicted events. Each tier simulates a process that is consuming a computing resource. Using a subset of a selected set of predicted events outputted from a corresponding selected tier, a set of features is extracted. each feature in the set of features has an effect on an outcome of the simulated process. The set of features is used in a demand level prediction model to predict a threshold demand. Reaching the threshold demand in an actual utilization of the computing resource is indicative of a likelihood of an unforeseen rise in a demand for the computing resource after a period.
