1. A scale-out execution system, comprising one or more processors, the scale-out execution system being configured to cause at least one of the one or more processors to execute:
a performance index value data acquisition process for acquiring performance index value data indicating an actual result value of a performance index value relating to a communication system;
a determination criterion determination process for determining, based on a usage amount of computer resources, a determination criterion relating to whether network load prediction is required;
a first determination process for determining, based on the performance index value data and the determination criterion, whether network load prediction is required;
a prediction start process for starting network load prediction in response to a determination that the network load prediction is required;
a second determination process for determining, after the network load prediction is started, whether scale-out is required based on a network load prediction result; and
a scale-out execution process for executing scale-out of an element included in the communication system in response to a determination that the scale-out is required.
