Abstract
Examples described herein include systems and methods for efficiently scaling an SDDC. An example method can include storing resource utilization information for a variety of resources of the SDDC. The example method can also include predicting a future resource utilization rate for the resources and determining that a predicted utilization rate is outside of a desired range. The system can determine how long it would take to perform the scaling, including adding or removing a host and performing related functions such as load balancing or data transfers. The system can also determine how long the scaling is predicted to benefit the SDDC to ensure that the benefit is sufficient to undergo the scaling operation. If the expected benefit is greater than the benefit threshold, the system can perform the scaling operation.
