1. A system of managing a shared pool of configurable computing resources, the system comprising:
- a memory having a set of computer readable computer instructions, anda processor for executing the set of computer readable instructions, the set of computer readable instructions including;
collecting a set of scaling factor data related to an active workload on a configuration of the shared pool of configurable computing resources, wherein the set of scaling factor data includes an actual number of transactions per time period being processed;
ascertaining a set of workload resource data associated with the active workload, wherein the set of workload resource data includes a hardware configuration template specifying a processor requirement and a memory requirement for an expected number of transactions per time period to be processed;
computing, by subtracting the actual number of transactions per time period from the expected number of transactions per time period, a transaction per time period difference value;
comparing the transaction per time period difference value to a transaction per time period difference threshold to determine whether the transaction per time period difference value exceeds the transaction per time period difference threshold;
detecting, in response to a determination that the transaction per time period difference value exceeds the transaction per time period difference threshold, a triggering event; and
performing, in response to detecting the triggering event, a configuration action with respect to the configuration of the shared pool of configurable computing resources, wherein the configuration action includes;
reconfiguring the configuration of the shared pool of configurable computing resources.

Abstract
Disclosed aspects manage a shared pool of configurable computing resources. A set of scaling factor data is monitored. The set of scaling factor data is related to a workload on a configuration of the shared pool of configurable computing resources. A set of workload resource data associated with the workload is ascertained. Using the set of scaling factor data and the set of workload resource data, a triggering event is detected. In response to detecting the triggering event, a configuration action (with respect to the configuration of the shared pool of configurable computing resources) is performed.

18. A computer program product of managing a shared pool of configurable computing resources, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, wherein the computer readable storage medium is not a transitory signal per se, the program instructions executable by a processor to cause the processor to perform a method comprising:
-
collecting a set of scaling factor data related to an active workload on a configuration of the shared pool of configurable computing resources, wherein the set of scaling factor data includes an actual number of transactions per time period being processed; ascertaining a set of workload resource data associated with the active workload, wherein the set of workload resource data includes a hardware configuration template specifying a processor requirement and a memory requirement for an expected number of transactions per time period to be processed; computing, by subtracting the actual number of transactions per time period from the expected number of transactions per time period, a transaction per time period difference value; comparing the transaction per time period difference value to a transaction per time period difference threshold to determine whether the transaction per time period difference value exceeds the transaction per time period difference threshold; detecting, in response to a determination that the transaction per time period difference value exceeds the transaction per time period difference threshold, a triggering event; and performing, in response to detecting the triggering event, a configuration action with respect to the configuration of the shared pool of configurable computing resources, wherein the configuration action includes; reconfiguring the configuration of the shared pool of configurable computing resources.
