Disclosed is a system and method for cloud workload provisioning. In one implementation, the present invention provides a system enabling an automated guidance to the user for the workload to be provisioned. The present invention matches the user's workload profile based on a wide variety of historical data set and makes easy for users to choose the cloud provisioning for various kinds of workloads. The system can automatically readjust a workload profile for cloud provisioning. The system can provide a manual selection option for cloud provisioning. In one embodiment, the present invention provides a system and method that derives a workload provision scaling factor mechanism using historic data set. Furthermore, the system and method can automatically or manually readjust the provision scaling factor based on a workload profile for cloud provisioning.
