A computer implemented method to provide allocation of one or more computing resources for a consumer computing component, each resource having a resource type and being provided by one or more resource providers, and the consumer having associated a quantity of tradeable value constraining an extent of resource consumption, the method comprising: defining one or more consumption rules for each of the resource providers, each consumption rule being associated with the consumer and defining: a type of resource; and one or more tradeable values corresponding to costs for consumption of resource, each tradeable value being associated with a particular configuration of the resource, wherein the consumption rules are recorded in a blockchain data structure; defining an optimisation rule associated with the consumer and including: a reference to each of the consumption rules associated with the consumer; a definition of one or more constraints on characteristics of resources; and a consumption optimisation function, wherein the optimisation rule is recorded in the blockchain, wherein, in use, a transaction is submitted to the blockchain to trigger consumption of one or more required types of resource and responsive to the transaction the optimisation rule determines one or more resource providers for providing resources of the required resource types and, for each determined provider, the optimisation function determines, based on the consumption rules, a particular configuration and an extent of consumption of each type of resource so as to control expenditure of the consumer's tradeable value. |
