Put your cloud on a diet (or: Windows Azure and scaling: why?)

This article discusses the financial advantages of scaling cloud application resources based on demand, using a Windows Azure example. It shows how adjusting the number of running instances during off-peak hours, like nights and weekends, can lead to significant cost savings compared to running a fixed number of instances 24/7. The post introduces a series that will provide technical tutorials on implementing automatic scaling for .NET and PHP applications on the Azure platform.
