1. A method of redirecting web traffic to an on-demand compute environment, the method comprising:

  • receiving, at the on-demand compute environment, an indication that projected web traffic addressed to a web server should at least be partially served via the on-demand compute environment;

    assigning an agent to handle a portion of the projected web traffic to be served via the on-demand compute environment;

    provisioning compute resources within the on-demand compute environment to enable the on-demand compute environment to respond to the portion of the projected web traffic to yield provisioned compute resources;

    intercepting, via the agent, the portion of the projected web traffic received from a user; and

    redirecting, via the agent, the portion of the projected web traffic to be served by the provisioned compute resources such that redirecting is transparent to the user.
