Abstract
Cloud providers must provide a consistently high availability of resources in order to respond to flexible demand. However, available but idle resources are inefficient. In order to improve the efficient utilization of cloud resources, incoming requests for cloud resources may be listened for and the resource started when the request is received. The flow may then be changed to reflect the started resource. When the resource becomes idle, it may be returned to the cloud.
