Depending on your agreement with us, you may have access to storage and computing capacity, and applications, on our infrastructure. You may not always be able to increase the amount of capacity that you use on our infrastructure, even when payment for this would be covered by your agreement, since our infrastructure may be fully or nearly fully-utilized by other customers.
