Abstract

Techniques for optimizing background tasks based on forecast data are described. Customer workloads may be monitored by a local monitor in a first time period. Future customer workloads in a second time period following the first time period may be forecast based at least on the customer workloads using a local model. A background availability may be determined based at least on the future customer workloads. Execution of at least one background workload may be scheduled to use the background availability during the second time period. The local monitor may then cause the execution of the at least one background workload.
