A resource entitlement control system includes a controller, a model estimator, and a controller designer. The controller is operable to control an allocation of resources to a resource container. The model estimator is operable to calculate model parameters based on performance metrics and past resource allocations to the resource container, and the controller designer is operable to calculate one or more controller parameters based on the model parameters. The controller is also operable to calculate a control variable for controlling the allocation of resources to the resource container based on the controller parameters and the performance metrics.
