19. Capacity on demand! IT CAPACITY Allocated IT-capacities Lower capex! Forcast demands Actual Load TIME

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