Sorry if I'm dumb, but please try to explain things to me. I don't think I follow...

10k nodes, 60 VM per node... is 600k VM in the whole cloud. A 3 hour life cycle for a VM means every hour 1/3 the nodes turn over so 200k VM  are created/deleted per hour ... divide by 60 for ... 3,333.333 per minute or ... divide by 60 for ... 55.5 VM creations/deletions per second ...

... did I do that math right? So where's the million DB accesses per second come from? Are the rules fired for every VM on every access so that 600k VM + 1 new VM means the rules fire 600k + 1 times? What? Sorry... really confused.
