Abstract
This disclosure presents computational systems and methods that allocate cost of resources of a cluster of server computers used by virtual machines in a virtual data center. In one aspect, a fair unit rate is computed based on the larger of a measured average utilization or an expected utilization of a cluster resource of server computers within a physical data center by virtual machines. The fair unit rate is a cost per unit of resource used over a period of time and is used to compute an allocated cost of the virtual machine usage of the cluster resource.
