This feature eliminates the constraints of regional dependencies, letting your applications thrive wherever the demand takes them. You can use this capability through a number of ways: running a stateless web service, large batch jobs, a big data cluster, or a continuous integration pipeline. Workloads such as financial risk analysis, log processing, or image rendering can benefit from the ability to run hundreds of thousands of concurrent cores or instances.
