The solution proposed looks to provide a predictive scaling system (instead of the traditional load/reactive scalers). - I have to applaud the author(s) scientific and experimental approach to this problem - I found the experimental data in the evidence section fascinating, and it showed a healthly level if self-critique of the approach. - Overall I think the approach is sound and when coupled with sensible cool-down timers, lower limits, etc could provide significant benefits in large scale systems. - - While the paper could be clearer, this is a good idea that deserves further exploration. I would be interested to see an exploration of how this services scales and any latency this may introduce. **Comments for the Program Committee (authors will not see these comments)** *Provide comments to the PC (if any) that should not be shared with the author(s).* An interesting paper. I think the author(s) did a great job of balancing the amount of detail given about the proposal whilst providing significant space to the evidence section. I would love to see more papers that show significant evidence (where available) instead of the single paragraph most provide - can we update the submission guidance to encourage this?
