| - | * **Cost-aware criteria** the default is to assume that there is a firm fixed price for IaaS providers, however, some providers allow for spot pricing schemes (i.e., Amazon) which can allow users to tap into IaaS excess capacity. This excess capacity is there so that the IaaS provider can meet the Service Level Agreements (SLAs) guaranteed to all customers. | + | The following are the various strategies used to achieve elasticity: |
| - | * **Power-aware cost function**. There are benefits being reaped when using the off-peak power consumption only. Using the power required to meet the application's needs and little more. | + | * **Cost-aware criteria**: The default is to assume that there is a firm fixed price for IaaS providers, however, some providers allow for spot pricing schemes (i.e., Amazon) which can allow users to tap into IaaS excess capacity.

| - | * **Multiple classes of requests**. This allows applications to be segmented into categories based on the need for service. For example, customers' requests for service from the application can be divided into three categories: High Priority for performing financial transactions; Medium Priority for those making product enquirers; Low priority for this browsing. | + | * **Power-aware cost function**: Using the power required to meet the [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:a:application|application's]] needs and little more, i.e., using off-peak power consumption only. |
