For auto-scaling to realize material savings, the variation in the workload needs to represent a significant change in the production footprint. Many applications in the Private Sector now being dumped into relatively expensive compute and storage cloud services don’t have that profile. A handful of virtual servers inside a corporate data center with an internal user base is usually uneconomical to refactor or replace with a lower-cost footprint, at least for now.
