1. A method for automatically allocating resources in a computer system, comprising:

  • collecting performance data relating to processing nodes of a computer system which provide services via one or more applications;

    analyzing the performance data to generate an operational profile characterizing resource usage of the processing nodes over at least one time period;

    receiving a set of attributes characterizing expected performance goals in which the services are expected to be provided between a provider and a consumer;

    generating at least one provisioning policy based on an analysis of the operational profile in conjunction with the set of attributes, the at least one provisioning policy specifying a condition for re-allocating resources associated with at least one processing node in a manner that satisfies the performance goals of the set of attributes; and

    re-allocating, during runtime, the resources associated with the at least one processing node when the condition of the at least one provisioning policy is determined as satisfied.
