Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for providing access to the use of computing resources. In one aspect, a method includes receiving, from a resource user, request data that specifies: a resource commitment rate for a particular computing resource and a burst tier related to the resource commitment rate. The resource commitment rate can specify a first number of units of the particular computing resource that the resource user has committed to leasing for a particular time period. The burst tier can specify an additional number of units of the particular computing resource that the resource user can use simultaneously with the first number of units of the particular computing resource at a discounted rate during the particular time period. The discounted rate for using the additional units is determined based on the first number of units and the additional number of units. |

1. A method performed by data processing apparatus, the method comprising:
receiving, by the data processing apparatus and from a resource user, request data that specifies:
a resource commitment rate for a particular computing resource, the resource commitment rate specifying a first number of units of the particular computing resource that the resource user has committed to leasing for a particular time period; anda burst tier related to the resource commitment rate, the burst tier specifying an additional number of units of the particular computing resource that the resource user can use simultaneously with the first number of units of the particular computing resource at a discounted rate during the particular time period; determining, by the data processing apparatus, the discounted rate for using the additional units based on the first number of units and the additional number of units; providing, to the resource user and during the particular time period, access to use of a requested number of units of the particular computing resource over a cloud computing network, the requested number of units varying over time and exceeding the first number of units at least once during the particular time period; and determining, by the data processing apparatus and based on actual usage data received by the data processing apparatus from a usage monitor that monitors actual usage of computing resources, a cost for using the requested number of units of the particular computing resource based on the discounted rate and a lease rate for leasing the first number of units. |
