1. A method comprising:
determining, based on a particular client network, a cluster of client networks, wherein the cluster of client networks is based on one or more similarities among client network asset deployments;
determining, based on the cluster of client networks, a prediction model that indicates a security service load based on a particular time;
determining, based on the prediction model, a first number of compute instances, where the first number of compute instances are usable to perform the security service;
deploying, prior to receiving a request to perform the security service, the first number of compute instances; and
initiating, in response to receiving the request to perform the security service, execution of the security service on the first number of compute instances.
