Releasing Cloud Databases from the Chains of Performance Prediction Models

Summary: Move from brittle query-latency predictors to ML that directly models monetary cost of provisioning and executing query workloads. Design an RL-based IaaS service that learns low-cost VM provisioning and query-dispatch policies for dynamic clouds; PoC validates feasibility. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
