Abstract
Capacity planning based on resource utilization as a function of workload is disclosed. The workload may include different types of requests such as login requests, requests to visit web pages, requests to purchase an item on an online shopping site, etc. In one embodiment, data is determined for each of a plurality of workloads. The data includes characteristics of a workload and resource utilization due at least in part processing that workload. Based on the data, utilization of each of the resources as a function of workload characteristics is estimated. Further, based on the estimated resource utilization, workload characteristics that are expected to cause each respective resource to reach a certain level are predicted. That level could be 100 percent utilization, but could be another level. Capacity planning is performed based on the workload characteristics that are expected to cause each respective resource to reach a certain level.
