Billing and metering of services
Cloud computing is based on a usage
model where access to computing
resources is delivered through Internet
technologies.
The user pays per usage, rather than
buying a license and annual maintenance.
Usage can fluctuate and a billing system
needs to reflect the billing usage
granularity per the cloud providers
business model.

Infrastructure as a Service and billing
and metering services


Billing for IaaS may be done
based on the quantity and
quality of the infrastructure
resources provided.
The primary concepts of IaaS
include:
Servers per hour serving an
on-demand model
Reserved servers for better
planning
Higher and lower compute
resource units based on
application performance
Volume-based metering on
the number of instances
consumed

Platform as a Service and billing and
metering services

Platform as a Service (PaaS) billing
and metering are determined by
actual usage, as platforms differ in
aggregate and instance-level usage
measures.
The primary concepts for PaaS
metering and billing include:
Incoming and outgoing network
bandwidth
CPU time per hour
Stored data
High availability
Monthly service charge

SaaS and billing and metering
services

The traditional concept for billing and
metering SaaS applications is a monthly fixed
cost; in some cases, depending on the amount
of data or number of "seats," the billing and
pricing are optimized.
The primary concepts for SaaS billing and
metering include:
Monthly subscription fees
Per-user monthly fees

DaaS(Database as a Service)and
billing and metering services

The difference between traditional enterprise
database infrastructures and software
infrastructures is the built-in scalability and
billing for what you actually use.
DaaS infrastructures employ these concepts:
Instances of database servers
Scalable cloud computing database services

MaaS(Monitoring as a Service ) and
billing and metering services

MaaS is often billed monthly and based on
actual usage as well as intervals the monitors
execute the transaction and cycles the data is
collected. it is based on elapsed CPU time
determines the actual usage of each request and
is consolidated at the end of each month
MaaS employs these concepts:
External service monitoring
Instances of monitoring infrastructure
Elapsed CPU time

Cloud management

Cloud management
means the software
and technologies
designed for
operating and
monitoring applications
Data and services
residing in the cloud
Cloud Management Strategies

Cloud management strategies typically involve
numerous tasks including:
performance monitoring (response times,
latency, uptime, etc.),
security and compliance auditing
management, and initiating
overseeing disaster recovery and contingency
plans.
Cloud management tools help ensure a
company's cloud computing-based
resources are working optimally and
properly interacting with users and
other services.
