Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and computer-readable media for receiving usage data for a virtual device (or other virtual service), analyzing the usage data to determine a usage bucket characteristic of usage of the virtual device over a period of time, and determining a usage score for the virtual device. The systems described herein further involve causing a deployment of the virtual device to be upgraded, downgraded, or otherwise modified based on the usage bucket and associated usage score. The features and functionalities described herein can provide an efficient mechanism for administrating a tenant deployment as well as implementing a more efficient utilization of cloud computing resources for a variety of virtual services.

Abstract: Embodiments are directed to publishing file type associations for remote applications and to automatically updating file type associations for remote applications. In an embodiment, a remote application server sends to an administrative user an indication of remote applications that are provided by the remote application server. The remote application server of receives from the administrative user an indication of those remote applications that are to be published for computer systems managed by the administrative user. The remote application server also receives from the administrative user an indication of which file type associations are to be published for the indicated remote applications and publishes the indicated remote applications with the indicated file type associations on the remote application server. In this manner, users accessing the remote application server have access to the published applications with the remote applications' associated file types.
