Abstract: A system configured to facilitate brokering hybrid cloud services selects information requests for characterizing an information technology application. The system responses to the information requests and determines a plurality of sets of the responses each used for deriving a value of a respective one of a plurality of factor functions. The system determines a plurality of assessment results each derived using values for of a respective set of the factor functions. Each one of the assessment results characterizes a respective aspect of deploying the information technology application within a cloud environment.

Abstract: A method is provided for analyzing cloud services expenditures. The method determines and displays an amount spent on cloud services for a cloud account is performed. The amount spent includes an amount spent on the cloud services for a current day of the cloud services billing period and all days of the cloud services billing period prior to the current day. The method determines and displays an estimated billed amount for cloud services for the cloud account over an entire duration of the cloud services billing period is performed. The method determines and displays a capacity cost parameter indicating a relationship between the amount spent on the cloud services and a portion thereof that is allocated to capacity-specific contributors of the cloud services is performed.
