Cloud bursting is commonly used in hybrid environments where an organization's private cloud automatically offloads to the public cloud only when necessary, such as during periods of high demand that cannot be met by the private cloud alone. This ensures continued service availability without maintaining and paying for excess idle private cloud resources. The scenario where compute-intensive applications require additional resources during end-of-month reporting represents an intermittent, high-demand situation suited for cloud bursting. The holiday shopping season scenario may also seem appropriate, but cloud bursting is specifically a dynamic process for unpredicted spikes, whereas holiday shopping patterns are predictable and could be managed through planned scaling. Permanent workload migrations are unrelated to cloud bursting and involve permanently moving applications or services to a different environment. A DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attack scenario is inappropriate for cloud bursting as it requires security measures, not merely additional resources.
