Abstract
In a cloud computing environment customers of the cloud believe they have instantaneous access to unlimited resources however to satisfy this with finite resources there are times when resources could have to be acquired from an external cloud with potentially different security capabilities and performance capabilities. A method and system are therefore disclosed to reduce cost incurred while scaling to an external cloud to meet short term demand and to take into account security and performance requirements of customers. The proposed method and system provide automation and prediction capabilities to help with the decision of growing cloud resources or temporarily becoming a hybrid cloud. By 'pre-bursting' the cloud in anticipation of a cloud burst the growth in resources can be predicted and performed (with security and load balancing in mind) prior to actual cloud consumer requests.
