1. A method comprising:
predicting an expected deployment of one or more future containers with one or more headroom containers in a computer infrastructure, based on a current usage of resources in the computer infrastructure, the current usage indicating a quantity of currently deployed containers in the computer infrastructure, metadata associated with the currently deployed containers, and infrastructure utilization by the currently deployed containers, wherein the one or more headroom containers are not deployed in the computing infrastructure;
based on the predicting, determining that the computer infrastructure is insufficient for the expected deployment of the one or more future containers with the one or more headroom containers;
based on the determining, allocating additional resources to the computer infrastructure for the expected deployment; and
maintaining an association between the allocated additional resources with the one or more headroom containers until the additional resources are provided to the one or more future containers for the expected deployment.
