\subsection{Algorithm}
The algorithm needs to decide whether to start new VMs, or shut them down, and should probably use the following information
\begin{itemize}
\item Our forecast of the arrival rate $\lambda(t)$, especially 2 minutes and 1 hour from now
\item The number of VMs in each category currently running
\item How far the VMs are from their next billing period (no need to shut it down until 1 second before the hour)
\item The length of the queue right now, and the estimated forecast queue length
\end{itemize}
