Evaluating Computing Resources Utilization in Accordance with Computing Environment Entitlement Contracts

摘要

Mechanisms are provided for managing computing resources relative to a computing environment entitlement contract. These mechanisms generate one or more computing environment entitlement contract (CEEC) data structures, each CEEC data structure defining terms of a business level agreement between a contracting party and a provider of the data processing system. A CEEC cohort is generated comprising a collection of CEECs having similar terms. Utilization of a collection of computing resources in accordance with the similar terms of the collection of CEECs is monitored to identify a usage trend within the CEEC cohort. A relative measure of resource utilization under each CEEC in the CEEC cohort based on the collected resource utilization metrics is calculated and reported.
