1. A method comprising:
determining, based on a prediction model associated with a computing resource, a prediction of a request load of a security service, wherein the prediction is used to determine a first number of compute instances usable to perform the security service associated with the computing resource;
deploying, based on the first number of compute instances and prior to receiving a request to initiate the security service, a second number of compute instances, wherein the second number of compute instances is within a threshold number to the first number of compute instances;
receiving the request to perform the security service; and
initiating, in response to receiving the request to perform the security service, execution of the security service on the second number of compute instances;
receiving, prior to the determining the first number of compute instances, snapshot data; and
training, based on the snapshot data, the prediction model.
