Usage Compute Time Average Inactivity Period “On and Off “ On & off workloads (e.g. batch job) Over provisioned capacity is wasted Time to market can be cumbersome Average Usage Compute Time “Growing Fast“ Successful services needs to grow/scale Keeping up w/ growth is big IT challenge Complex lead time for deployment Compute Time Average Usage Services with micro seasonality trends Peaks due to periodic increased demand IT complexity and wasted capacity “Predictable Bursting“ Is It For Me? Compute Time “Unpredictable Bursting“ Average Usage Unexpected/unplanned peak in demand Sudden spike impacts performance Can’t over provision for extreme cases
