Abstract
Embodiments for automatic diagonal scaling of workloads in a distributed computing environment. For each of a plurality of resources of each of a plurality of application instances, a determination as to whether a change in allocation of at least one of the plurality of resources is required. Operations requirements are computed for each of the plurality of application instances, the computed requirements including vertical increase and decrease operations, and horizontal split and collapse operations. The vertical decrease and horizontal collapse operations are first processed, the vertical increase and horizontal split operations are ordered, and the vertical increase and horizontal split operations are subsequently processed based on the ordering, thereby optimizing application efficiency and utilization of the plurality of resources in the distributed computing environment.
