Abstract
A report cost estimation module is used with cloud storage systems that store and process client data. Reports on the cloud stored client data take a significant amount of CPU, memory, storage and networking resources. A data analysis model dynamically estimates pricing for client data reports according to resource consumption by identifying a cluster group for the report and using the designated regression model for the cluster group. The data analysis can store the estimated and actual report costs and improve the estimated report costs using machine learning algorithms and crowed sourcing techniques. The report price is accurately provided to the client before running the report and thus allowing the customer to carefully manage a client report budget.
