I understand you. Very annoying these days.

For dynamics you have to ask MS for access to the sql back end. Then its granted for several hours as read only. That's why you have to use synapse link to a data lake etc.

So buy one that's a little more expensive and will. It's still going to be tons cheaper that a commercial display and offer better performance

Or hear me out... Just don't give it an internet connection.

Having an AS does not make you an ISP. It just means you have a public AS, which you can use to peer with providers on the Internet, if you have an agreement to peer.

You do understand, when you have VM's set to auto scale, they shutdown when not in use, if you're using horizontal scaling.

But it is. They're stopped and deallocated. They start up when demanded. And shutdown when below a threshold or a certain schedule.

No we shut them down. They get deallocated the same way as shutting down a virtual server does. They're not containers, the scaling part just turns them on and off based on workload or schedule

Finally someone who gets it.

In pretty much any enterprise using the public cloud. Everything is auto scaling, so shutdowns when not needed. Dev environments shutdown over night... If you're not shutting down and scaling in the public cloud, you're doing it wrong.

We power off servers in the enterprise all the time and on schedules 😂. Its called saving money.
