We already had reserved the failover capacity to ensure it was available during failover so running more instances is just taking advantage of that.

We already had reserved the failover capacity to ensure it was available during failover so running more instances is just taking advantage of that.
- toomuchtodo 9y agoAre those reserved instances used for preemptible tasks (transcoding, analytics processing) when not experiencing a business continuity event? Or is just considered a sunk cost?
- aaronblohowiak 9y agoThe dark capacity is dynamically scaled throughout the day to handle anticipated failover needs. Depending on the region and time of day, the live, dark (and total) usage increases and decreases. When not being used for live or dark capacity, the resources are utilized for other tasks.
