Abstract
Computational methods and systems that estimate time remaining and right size for usable capacities of resources used to run virtual objects of a distributed computing system are described. For each stream of metric data that represents usage of a resource of a distributed computing system, a model for forecasting metric data is determined and used to compute forecasted metric data in a forecast interval. A resource utilization metric is computed from the forecasted metric data and may be used to estimate a time remaining before the usable capacity of the resource is expected to be insufficient and the resource usable capacity is adjusted. The resource utilization metric may be used to determine the capacity remaining is insufficient. A right-size usable capacity for the resource is computed based on the resource utilization metric and the usable capacity of the resource is adjusted to at least the right-size usable capacity.
