Abstract
A computer-implemented method includes monitoring, by an agent, resource consumption at a system running at an on-premises data center, where the agent is embedded into the system. Compliance data is determined by measuring, by the agent, the resource consumption according to one or more cost factors of a consumption-based pricing agreement. The compliance data is useable to determine a consumption-based price of operating the system according to the consumption-based pricing agreement.
