Abstract: In embodiments, a method includes dynamically detecting a current revision to a software service running within a container and identifying whether the current revision specifies a significant change or not. In response to the identification, the method further includes selecting a time window in which to analyze the service's usage patterns (the “analyzed time window”) and determining whether to include data regarding the service's usage patterns prior to the current revision in the analyzed time window or not. The method further includes recommending a right-sizing implementation for the service based on the usage patterns in the analyzed time window. In embodiments, until data for the entire analyzed time window has been acquired, the method only implements right-sizing recommendations that increase resources available to the service. Once such data has been acquired, the method implements right-sizing recommendations that both increase and decrease such resources.
