Autoscale
Add autoscale and make it bold and aggressive- user can set triggers from monitoring system and after trigger is activated scale automatically change instance parameters and/or add more instances.
If you make research you can find how many people ask for this option in Heroku for example- if you add possibility for little time period for example 5 minutes minimum use time, Azure simply broke all rules and many more customers migrate to you.
What I expect - system is activated / monitoring get data every minute / and add more resource immediately, with no problem take the traffic spike and after that 25/35/55 minutes later, if last 5/10/15 minutes CPU Usage/Visitors/RAM not over X- shut down unnecessary vm`s.
All triggers for activation and shut down can be configured from your scale panel.
