When do I need to reserve servers?

For large scale events we use reservations to ensure users get the best experience possible and don't have to wait for capacity.

For a successful reservation to happen, we have to reserve capacity with our cloud partner, and require the schedule to be confirmed 4~6 weeks before the event.

In cases where we can not reserve the needed capacity, we will try our best to secure on-demand capacity from our cloud partner, but cannot guarantee user experience accessibility without a reservation.
