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.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for monitoring server stability based on a stability time specification of a server includes specifying a stability time for the server, wherein the stability time is defined as a time between a starting state of the server and a stability point of the server. The server activity is monitored by an availability manager to determine an availability status of the server. Responsive to the server activity progressing to the stability point within the stability time, an embodiment determines that the server is stable. Responsive to the server activity failing to progress to the stability point within the stability time, an embodiment determines that the server is unreliable.

Abstract: The stability and availability status of a server is determined by monitoring the stability time specification of the server. The stability time is set for the server and defined as a time between a starting state of the server and a stability point of the server. The server activity is monitored by an availability manager to determine an availability status of the server. Responsive to the server activity progressing to the stability point within the stability time, an embodiment determines that the server is stable. Responsive to the server activity failing to progress to the stability point within the stability time, an embodiment determines that the server is unreliable.
