I wonder if this is because a lot of companies suddenly have to make a change they didn't feel necessary in the past and now rush to compensate for a lack of planning. While it technically doesn't matter where you run, there are a lot of choices that have a different answer depending on if you ask your vendor or if you do your own checks and research. Scaling purely because you needed to scale up would be a different story, and then you're expect overall service demands to go up that steep. This seems more like an unpreparedness peak to me.
