\begin{itemize}  \item If we forecast a peak in demand 1 hour from now, we should start up VMs half an hour before so that the peak of demand falls in the middle of the VM cycle  \item Never shut down a VM until 1 second before its billing cycle  \item Calculate the estimated penalty we have to pay in the next 1 hour (integrating the waiting time distribution over the penalty function) for $c$ and $c + 1$ VMs. If the difference is greater than 1, we should start an extra server. VM.  \end{itemize}
