My third demo at TechEd Europe 2014<\/a> focused on Resource Metering, enabling granular reporting of per-VM resource utilisation, primarily for the purposes of show-back reporting or cross-charging\/billing. This feature can be used to satisfy one of the traits of a cloud, as defined by NIST: measured usage.<\/p>\n

In this demo, I:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Clean up the demo<\/li>\n
  2. Enable metering on a VM<\/li>\n
  3. Modify the reporting interval from 1 hour to 10 seconds to suit the demo<\/li>\n
  4. Use memory in the VM<\/li>\n
  5. Copy a file to the VM (I might also run some network consuming process in the VM)<\/li>\n
  6. Report on resource usage<\/li>\n
  7. Dive deeper into network metering<\/li>\n
  8. Clean up the demo<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
