Functionality management via application modification

摘要

Methods, systems, apparatuses, and/or computer-readable media for providing device management via application modification may be provided. In some embodiments, upon receiving a request to perform an action associated with an application, a determination as to whether performing the action will utilize a metered resource may be made. If so, a further determination may be made as to whether the request complies with at least one cost compliance policy and, in response to determining that the request complies with the at least one cost compliance policy, the action may be caused and/or authorize to be performed.

主权项

1. A method comprising:
receiving, in at least one computing device, a request to perform an action associated with an application, wherein the application is modified to redirect a plurality of requests to perform the action to a second application; identifying, by the at least one computing device, a plurality of functions associated with the action to be performed; computing, by the at least one computing device, an amount of the metered resource consumed by each of the plurality of functions; determining, by the at least one computing device, whether performing the action will utilize a metered resource; in response to determining that performing the action will utilize the metered resource, determining, by the at least one computing device, whether the request complies with at least one cost compliance policy by determining whether the computed amount of the metered resource consumed by each of the plurality of functions exceeds a quota amount of the metered resource; and in response to determining that the request complies with the at least one cost compliance policy, authorizing, by the at least one computing device, the action to be performed.
