## Common scenarios
2121
The following scenarios can benefit greatly from bursting:
22-
- **Improve startup times** – With bursting, your instance will startup at a faster rate. For example, the default OS disk for premium enabled VMs is the P4 disk, which is a provisioned performance of up to 120 IOPS and 25 MB/s. With bursting, the P4 can go up to 3500 IOPS and 170 MB/s allowing for startup to accelerate by up to 6X.

2323
- **Handle batch jobs** – Some application workloads are cyclical in nature. They require a baseline performance most of the time, and higher performance for short periods of time. An example of this is an accounting program that processes daily transactions that require a small amount of disk traffic. At the end of the month this program would complete reconciling reports that need a much higher amount of disk traffic.
2424
- **Traffic spikes** – Web servers and their applications can experience traffic surges at any time. If your web server is backed by VMs or disks that use bursting, the servers would be better equipped to handle traffic spikes.

Ultra disks don't have an extra charge for each VM that they're mounted to. They're billed on the total IOPS and MBps that the disk is configured for. Normally, an ultra disk has two performance throttles that determine its total IOPS/MBps. However, when configured as a shared ultra disk, two more performance throttles are exposed, for a total of four. These two additional throttles allow for increased performance at an extra expense and each meter has a default value, which raises the performance and cost of the disk.

The four performance throttles a shared ultra disk has are diskMBpsReadWrite, diskIOPSReadOnly and diskMBpsReadOnly. Each performance throttle can be configured to change the performance of your disk. The performance for shared ultra disk is calculated in the following ways: total provisioned IOPS (diskIOPSReadWrite + diskIOPSReadOnly) and for total provisioned throughput MBps (diskMBpsReadWrite + diskMBpsReadOnly).

Once you've determined your total provisioned IOPS and total provisioned throughput, you can use them in the [pricing calculator](https://azure.microsoft.com/pricing/calculator/?service=managed-disks) to determine the cost of an ultra shared disk.

Both shared Ultra Disks and shared Premium SSD v2 managed disks are priced based on provisioned capacity, total provisioned IOPS (diskIOPSReadWrite + diskIOPSReadOnly) and total provisioned Throughput MBps (diskMBpsReadWrite + diskMBpsReadOnly). There's no extra charge for each additional VM mount. For example, a shared Ultra Disk with the following configuration (diskSizeGB: 1024, DiskIOPSReadWrite: 10000, DiskMBpsReadWrite: 600, DiskIOPSReadOnly: 100, DiskMBpsReadOnly: 1) is charged with 1024 GiB, 10100 IOPS, and 601 MBps regardless of whether it is mounted to two VMs or five VMs.

You can adjust ultra disk IOPS and throughput performance at runtime without detaching the disk from the virtual machine. After a performance resize operation has been issued on a disk, it can take up to an hour for the change to take effect. Up to four performance resize operations are permitted during a 24-hour window.
