Abstract
Computational methods and systems to reclaim capacity of a virtual infrastructure of distributed computing system are described. Methods and systems are directed to forecasting usage of resources that form a virtual infrastructure of a distributed computing system. Streams of metric data that represent usage of resources of the virtual infrastructure assigned to a virtual object are collected. A binary sequence of active status metric data is computed for the virtual object based on the streams of metric data. Forecasted active status metric data are computed in a forecast interval based on the sequence of active status metric data. Expected active or inactive status of virtual object over the forecast interval is determined from the forecasted active status metric data. If the virtual object is expected to inactive status over the forecast interval, resources assigned to the virtual object are reclaimed for use by active virtual objects.
