My point was based on how dynamic the architectures are (or aren't) of those in the trough, not their level of spending.

Ah, my apologies!

It depends. I have a toy service that exists entirely as an autoscaling group. That's pretty dynamic!

Counterpoint: Mainframes.

A toy service is not what I'm thinking of as being in "the trough." The trough is where scaling and bursting aren't generally necessary.
