1. A method for configuring auto-scaling parameters of a computing environment, comprising:
- receiving, by one or more computer processors, specified values for one or more auto-scaling parameters of a plurality of auto-scaling parameters to be used in a computing environment; and
calculating, by one or more computer processors, a configuration for the plurality of auto-scaling parameters as a function of the specified values, wherein the configuration reduces an amount of auto-scaling operations needed to raise or lower an amount of resources allocated for the computing environment to a desired level, wherein calculating, by one or more computer processors, a configuration for the plurality of auto-scaling parameters as a function of the specified values comprises;
calculating, by one or more computer processors, a value for an auto-scaling parameter according to a formula;
