Abstract
The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and computer-readable media for receiving usage data for a virtual device (or other virtual service), analyzing the usage data to determine a usage bucket characteristic of usage of the virtual device over a period of time, and determining a usage score for the virtual device. The systems described herein further involve causing a deployment of the virtual device to be upgraded, downgraded, or otherwise modified based on the usage bucket and associated usage score. The features and functionalities described herein can provide an efficient mechanism for administrating a tenant deployment as well as implementing a more efficient utilization of cloud computing resources for a variety of virtual services.
