So, for example, running a modelling simulation, and adding extra CPU cycles, when needed, in a (I guess) seamless fashion. A bit different from Amazon ECS which looks like it's designed more for always-on but bursty apps, particularly web facing ones, and allows quick provisioning of extra servers, but that isn't as straightforward as throwing extra CPUs.
