I’m leaning towards option B. Init scripts can really optimize startup times.

D) Create a cluster policy in workspace1. This is the way to go for sure, trust me I'm an expert. (Wink, wink)

Cluster policies could help manage resources better, but I feel like they might not address the immediate startup issue.

Upgrading to the Premium tier seems like an option, but it might not minimize costs as required.

I remember something about init scripts being useful for configuration, but I don't know if that directly impacts startup time.

I think creating a pool in workspace1 could help with scaling, but I'm not entirely sure if it's the best first step.

I'm leaning towards the global init script approach. That way, I can customize the cluster configuration without having to create a separate policy. Plus, it might be a bit more flexible if I need to make changes down the line. I'll need to research how to set that up, but it seems like a good option to explore.

Okay, I'm thinking that creating a cluster policy might be the way to go. That way, I can configure the cluster settings to optimize for faster startup and scaling, without having to upgrade the pricing tier. I'll need to look into the details of how to set that up, but it seems like the most promising option.

Hmm, I think the key here is to minimize costs. Upgrading the pricing tier might help with performance, but it could also increase costs. I'm wondering if creating a cluster policy or a global init script might be a more cost-effective solution.
