Cloud computing service flexible billing method based on actual usage

Abstract

The invention discloses a cloud computing service flexible billing method based on actual usage. The cloud computing service flexible billing method based on actual usage solves the problem that network resources cannot be used and paid as required. The method comprises the following steps of (a) monitoring the status of every virtual machine on a host machine in real time through the host machine; (b) transmitting real-time monitored data to a master control server, and analyzing the monitored data through the master control server to compute detailed resource usage data, generate a resource usage list and transmit the resource usage list to a statistical server; (c) periodically receiving the resource usage list of every virtual machine, which is transmitted from the master control server; (d) according to the resource usage lists, generating cloud computing service bills of user resource usage in the statistical server. According to the cloud computing service flexible billing method based on actual usage, the usage amounts of the CPU (central processing unit), the disk and the network data as well as the memory footprint of every virtual machine are monitored in real time, so that users can pay the bills flexibly according to actual resource usage, the customer cost can be reduced, the requirements of the users on usage and payment as required can be met, and high practical values can be obtained.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of cloud computing, and in particular relates to an elastic charging method for cloud computing services based on actual usage. Background technique [0002] The billing modes in the traditional network environment mainly include time-based billing, traffic-based billing, and content-based billing. Time-based billing reflects the use of network resources according to the time of network use, and has nothing to do with the amount of data users obtain from the network and network speed. It mainly includes two methods: monthly billing and monthly unlimited time. With the method of monthly subscription and unlimited time, users only need to pay a fixed monthly fee to use network resources without limitation. Its advantage is that it reduces the uncertainty of the cost, and it is convenient for the provider and the user to bill. Its disadvantage is that it cannot control the abuse of network resources by users, resulting...
