Network operations, monitoring, and performance

A company offers customers an API running in the public cloud. The APIs are hosted on a fixed number of VMs. During peak hours, the company observes a usage spike that causes network communication speeds to slow for all customers. Management has decided that access must remain fair and available for all customers at all times. Which of the following is the most cost-effective way to resolve this issue?
