Abstract
Calculating costs of application operations in a virtually provisioned environment is described. Servers are identified that support application operations associated with executing an application, based on a configuration file. A count of each type of application operation currently executing and a resource utilization associated with each of the servers are recorded. A set of linear equations is created if the resource utilization is recorded on the number of occasions that equals the number of application operation types. Each linear equation equates a sum of a count of each type of application operation recorded as executing during an occasion with the resource utilization recorded on the occasion. The set of linear equations is solved to estimate and output resource costs of each individual type of application operation to assist in resource management.
