Abstract
In one example, a processing system may support capacity management in a virtualization environment based on hierarchical capacity management. The processing system may maintain a policy for a first capacity agent at a first hierarchical layer. The policy may include a set of key capacity indicators, a capacity limit, and an algorithm. The processing system may obtain, based on the set of key capacity indicators, a set of key capacity indicator information. The processing system may monitor, based on the capacity limit, for a detection of a capacity limit event. The processing system may determine, based on the algorithm, a predicted capacity exhaustion point. The processing system may send, toward a second capacity agent at a second hierarchical layer that is above the first hierarchical layer, the set of key capacity indicator information and the predicted capacity exhaustion point.
