Abstract

Methods and systems for managing the utilization of cloud computing resources are described. The system monitors cloud computing resource utilization for a first set of active jobs to determine real-time utilization data. The system compares the real-time utilization data with historic utilization data to generate a utilization pattern and determines future cloud computing resource utilization for at least one future time period based on the utilization pattern and a second set of scheduled jobs. The system further generates a pricing matrix for utilizing the cloud computing resources during a future time period based on the determined future cloud computing resource utilization. The pricing matrix includes prices associated with utilization of the cloud computing resources for each of the at least one future time period. The system transmits the pricing matrix to one or more devices requesting utilization of the cloud computing resources.
