Abstract
It is enabled that network load prediction for executing scale-out of an element included in a communication system is started at an appropriate timing. A policy manager () determines whether network load prediction is required based on performance index value data and a determination criterion which is based on a usage amount of computer resources. An AI () starts network load prediction in response to a determination that the network load prediction is required. After the network load prediction is started, the policy manager () determines whether scale-out is required based on a network load prediction result. The policy manager (), a life cycle manager (), a container manager (), and a configuration manager () execute scale-out of the element included in the communication system in response to a determination that the scale-out is required.
