AUTOMATED RESOURCE PROVISIONING USING DOUBLE-BLINDED HARDWARE RECOMMENDATIONS

In one embodiment, an apparatus comprises a communication interface to communicate over a network, and a processor. The processor is to: receive a workload provisioning request from a user, wherein the workload provisioning request comprises information associated with a workload, a network topology, and a plurality of potential hardware choices for deploying the workload over the network topology; receive hardware performance information for the plurality of potential hardware choices from one or more hardware providers; generate a task dependency graph associated with the workload; generate a device connectivity graph associated with the network topology; select, based on the task dependency graph and the device connectivity graph, one or more hardware choices from the plurality of potential hardware choices; and provision a plurality of resources for deploying the workload over the network topology, wherein the plurality of resources are provisioned based on the one or more hardware choices.
