You have jobs running on more than 130k different machines daily??

Are they cloud based VMs, or your own hardware? If cloud based, do you reprovision all of them daily and incur no cost when you are not running jobs? If it's your own hardware, what else do you do with it when not batch processing?

They are provisioned on demand (cloud) and shut down when no longer needed.
