Abstract
A cloud computing system includes services that provide virtual cloud computing resources. The service publishes service events that are transformed into periodic rating data as per centralized, pluggable, service-specific business rules. The cloud computing system includes a metering service that reduces network traffic for billing using a carry-forward mechanism that remembers a last-known rating state. Anomalies in the last-known state, such as, from lost or duplicate service events, can be detected via a reconciliation protocol between the metering service and cloud computing services.
