Abstract
Technology is described for flexibly pricing cloud computing services. In some examples, the technology may receive at a cloud service provider a first set of information from an Internet service provider that provides an Internet service. The first set of information may relate to expected user behavior of a representative user of the Internet service provider. The technology may identify one or more computing resources employed by the Internet service provided by the Internet service provider and analyze the first set of information to determine a cycle. The cycle is a function of the computing resources expected to be employed by the representative user of the Internet service provider. The technology may compute a service fee for each instance of the cycle and allocates the service fee to the Internet service provider.
