1. A method performed at least in part by a network device for seasonal resource provisioning for an ultra-short-term forecast, the method comprising:
receiving, from a network controller, a selection of a time series algorithm, for determining capacity right-sizing of a local resource, from a set of time series algorithms, wherein the time series algorithm is a computationally efficient algorithm based at least in part on current local traffic conditions and wherein a right-size capacity is at least an amount of the local resource needed to ensure proper network functioning;
receiving, from the network controller, an instruction to run the time series algorithm when a local traffic condition trigger event occurs, wherein the instruction includes a determination of parameter values associated with the time series algorithm selection to be used in the time series algorithm;
receiving, from the network controller, a determination of a number of data points for input to the time series algorithm, wherein data points are a sequence of values representing an amount of the local resource used by the network device at a point in time that are collected at predetermined time intervals;
determining, based at least in part on a calculation of the time series algorithm using the number of data points and parameter values and in response to the local traffic condition trigger event occurring, the right-size capacity of the local resource for the network device; and
providing the right-size capacity of the local resource for the network device.
