ABSTRACT:
A method and system are described for estimating resource provisioning. An example method may include obtaining a workflow path including an external invocation node and respective groups of service nodes, node connectors, and hardware nodes, and including a directed ordered path indicating ordering of a flow of execution of services associated with the service nodes, from the external invocation node, to a hardware node, determining an indicator of a service node workload based on attribute values associated with a service node and an indicator of a propagated workload based on combining attribute values associated with the external invocation node and other service nodes or node connectors preceding the service node in the workflow path based on the ordering, and provisioning the service node onto a hardware node based on combining the indicator of the service node workload and an indicator of a current resource demand associated with the hardware node.
