Abstract
A device may receive traffic to be processed by one or more cloud computing resources associated with a cloud computing service provided via a cloud computing environment. The device may determine enforcement policy information associated with the traffic. The device may determine an aggregated performance metric associated with the traffic. The aggregated performance metric may be based on information associated with the one or more computing resources that are assigned to process the traffic. The device may determine a maximum performance metric associated with the traffic, and the maximum performance metric may be identified in the enforcement policy information. The device may compare the aggregated performance metric and the maximum performance metric, and may manage the traffic based on comparing the aggregated performance metric and the maximum performance metric.
