Abstract
Instances of computing resources might need to be de-scaled that have become unnecessary following a deployment of an update to an application. Instances might also need to be de-scaled as a result of decreased demand for the application. If de-scaling of instances of computing resources is required, the percentage of a paid-for time period for each instance is determined. Instances that have utilized the greatest percentage of their paid-for time period may then be de-scaled.
