Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 7:
8. The cloud computing capacity management system of claim 1, wherein:
the capacity signals comprise a plurality of different resource usage predictions corresponding to a plurality of different deployment grains;
a resource usage prediction for a deployment grain predicts an amount of cloud computing resources that will be consumed by the deployment grain in an upcoming time period;
the capacity mitigation policy comprises usage restrictions based on the plurality of different resource usage predictions;
the usage restrictions comprise thresholds for limiting usage of deployment grains when the cloud computing system is experiencing capacity shortages; and
a usage restriction corresponding to a particular deployment grain comprises a limit on the usage of the particular deployment grain based at least in part on the resource usage prediction that has been calculated for the particular deployment grain.
