I wasn't trying to say that these use cases are small in numbers when added up, but that they're all isolated in their own small silos. Facebook has a lot of these usages too but they're almost all mutually exculsive. Making workloads share machines or even adding resource conrol for base system operations afterwards is extremely difficult. There are cases these adhoc approaches make sense but insisting that this is all there is to resource control is short-sighted.
