Abstract
Techniques for tuning resource capacity for a network device are described. A component resource manager receives an expected utilization of the resource during a utilization volatility period from an auto energizing infrastructure. The utilization volatility period is a period of time during which a chance of a utilization increase of the resource is within a predetermined threshold. The component resource manager receives a calculation of a maximum potential capacity delta for the expected utilization of the resource during the utilization volatility period from the auto energizing infrastructure. Based on the expected utilization and the maximum potential capacity delta, the component resource manager determines the right-size capacity of the resource for the utilization volatility period. The right-size capacity is at least an amount of the resource needed to ensure proper network functioning. The component resource manager provides the right-size capacity of the resource during the utilization volatility period.
