Abstract: Solutions for secure metering of hyperconverged infrastructures are disclosed. Examples include: receiving a security token; accessing a secondary storage (e.g., cold storage, backups) using the security token; determining usage data for the secondary storage; generating a first message digest for a combination of the usage data and the security token; and transmitting, to a metering server, the usage data and the first message digest. In some examples, the combination of the usage data and the security token comprises a concatenation of the usage data and the security token. In some examples, the metering server requests verification usage data from the secondary storage, generates a second message digest for a combination of the verification usage data and the security token, and compares the first message digest with the second message digest. Examples do not persist the security token on customer premises. Examples leverage the usage data to optimize the secondary storage.

Abstract: Example methods relating to maintain a quality of service of a cloud application are described. One example method includes monitoring a workload metric of a virtual machines which is running the cloud application, creating additional one or more virtual machines, isolating the additional one or more virtual machines, and determining whether the workload metric exceeds a threshold. In response to determining that the workload metric exceeds the threshold, the method includes deisolating the additional one or more virtual machines to support the cloud application. Otherwise, the method includes maintaining one or more virtual machines being isolated.
