Abstract: Example embodiments of the present invention include a method, a system, and a computer program product for provisioning a computing system in accordance with an automated data analytics lifecycle. The method includes defining a holistic context of an analytics lifecycle for an analytic problem. One or more data sets for solving the analytic problem and at least a portion of original data in the one or more data sets may be conditioned to generate conditioned data. The method also includes selecting a model to analyze at least one of the original data and the conditioned data and executing the selected model on at least one of a portion of the original data and a portion of the conditioned data to confirm an adequacy of the selected model. Results of execution may be communicated to at least one entity for provisioning computing resources to implement the selected model.
