Zusammenfassung:A computer-implemented method for preventing the occurrence of performance tickets in a computing system comprising a plurality of virtual machines hosted by a host computing system. The method comprising the steps of: monitoring a resource usage parameter associated with the workload of a virtual machine in order to obtain historic resource usage information; determining information regarding certain dependencies within the historic resource usage information; selecting partial information from the historic resource usage information based on said determined information regarding certain dependencies; estimating the future workload of the virtual machines based on said selected partial information; and resizing the computational resources of one or more virtual machines based on the estimated future workload such that a usage threshold of a computational resource is below a given threshold in order to avoid the generation of a performance ticket.
