Abstract

Providing a cloud-based service to an endpoint device includes providing the cloud-based service to the endpoint device in accordance with a default Quality of Service, learning an importance of the cloud-based service to a user of the endpoint device, and automatically adjusting the providing of the cloud-based service to the endpoint device in response to the importance, wherein the adjusting results in the cloud-based service being provided to the endpoint device in accordance with a Quality of Service other than the default Quality of Service for at least a temporary period of time. The importance may be inferred from how quickly the user of the endpoint device consumes data provided by the cloud-based service. Alternatively, the importance may be a relative importance of the cloud-based service to the user, as compared to other users of the cloud-based service.
