16. AVDC Use CasesSimplification Of Common Tasks Testing and Staging Increased Capacity Increased demand on instance resources mandates that a new instance is created. Simplified instance creation & production deployment takes via a single mgmt tool Testing of new applications can take place in an instance that is isolated from the production pool. Once development is complete, production migration via transfer can take place Software Upgrades Manual Load Management Deploy test instances with new software.  Add to production pool for a limited time & validate operation. Production cutover by enabling new instances and rotate them into production pool. Prepare for surges: Before volume on an application is expected to be high – for example, before end-of-month processing -- add more instances.  Remove them after the surge.
