Auto-scaling: resource optimization
As an administrator or account owner, I want the scaling-down decisions to be made with the consideration of the minimum unit of billing (for example, compute time hour). For example, do not scale down immediately before a paid hour of compute time is fully utilized.

Hybrid auto-scaling (application and instance)
Action can be both instance and application scaling (e.g. when treshold X is reached, spin up to 5 new instances of worker roles and if that is not enough to deal with the burst, do application scale down to the next level/mode of operation.

Application rationing (throttling)
As a developer, I want a mechanism to detect higher resource utilization and change modes of operation to utilize less resources. This will allow to deal with bursts in demand without provisioning additional instances.

Instance auto-scaling: reactive
As a developer or app administrator, I want a provisioning mechanism to specify rulesets/triggers to scale up/down the number of instances according to resource monitoring metrics. This mechanism should have hard boundaries to avoid unbudgeted expenses. [Please comment on what resource metrics matter to you - CPU utilization, bandwidth, # requests, queue length etc.]

Instance auto-scaling: scheduled
As a developer or app administrator, I want a provisioning mechanism to schedule the number of instances of each role for specific time periods. These instances should be spun off or torn down without user's intervention. [Please comment on the granularity of timing - per hour, per day, the day of the week etc.]
