Various embodiments disclosed herein are related to a non-transitory computer readable storage medium. In some embodiments, the medium includes instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to identify, at an edge network, resource consumption data including a status that indicates whether a service hosted on a cluster of nodes on the edge network is powered on, a type of a resource being consumed by the service, a quantity of the resource being consumed by the service, and a time stamp associated with the resource being consumed by the service and provide, to a remote server in communication with the edge network, the resource consumption data. In some embodiments, the remote server meters resource consumption based on the resource consumption data.

System and method for collecting consumption

An aspect of the present disclosure facilitates validating metering of a disaster recovery service used in clouds. In one embodiment, a system receives a request to validate metering of usage of a disaster recovery service (DRS) in a first cloud. The system collects from a metering service of the DRS, measured values representing the actual usage of the DRS in a second cloud and then compares the measured values with corresponding expected values representing expected usage of the DRS in the second cloud. The system sends a response to the request based on a result of the comparing. In one embodiment, the request is received from a tenant (customer/owner) owning the first cloud.

Validating metering of a disaster recovery service used in clouds

Various embodiments disclosed herein are related to a non-transitory computer readable storage medium. In some embodiments, the medium includes instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to receive, at a server, from a cluster of nodes on an edge network in communication with the server, a resource consumption data of a service hosted on the edge network, determine, based on a metering policy, a unit of measurement, and calculate a resource consumption quantity according to the unit of measurement.

System and method for metering consumption

An aspect of the present disclosure facilitates validating live metering service in a cloud infrastructure. In one embodiment, a testing server receives a request to validate metering of a specific cloud (hosted in a cloud infrastructure) during processing of user requests, and in response collects from a metering service of the cloud infrastructure, measured values representing the actual resources consumed by a reference cloud provisioned in the cloud infrastructure in corresponding durations. The testing server compares the measured values with corresponding reference values expected during the operation of the reference cloud in the corresponding durations and sends a response to the request based on a result of the comparison.
