Abstract

See full text

An apparatus method for dynamic billing of block storage based allocation includes a processor and computer readable media storing code. The code is executable by the processor to perform operations that include, in response to an allocation request to a client system via an allocation API over a computer network, receiving from the client system an allocated amount of block storage that is allocated to a server of the client system. The block storage is inaccessible over the computer network. The allocation request is repeated at a first interval. The operations include collecting, during a second interval, an allocated amount for each first interval, averaging the allocated amounts of the first intervals to create an averaged allocation, preparing a bill for the second interval, the bill derived from the averaged allocation and a storage allocation rate, and transmitting the bill to a user of the client system.
