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.
Is it shutting down servers… Yes. it just does it based on parameters and thresholds.
Then you get things like VDI servers and jump boxes that only need to be on between certain hours, so get shutdown outside them hours.
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.
I am just waiting for your switch shelf to collapse. That’s some serious flex. :)
You do understand, when you have VM’s set to auto scale, they shutdown when not in use, if you’re using horizontal scaling.
