Systems and methods for modeling and analysis of infrastructure services provided by cloud services provider systems

Abstract

Systems and methods for modeling and analysis of commerce platform system infrastructure provided by cloud services provider systems to a commerce platform are described. The method may include receiving a cloud services provider spending report generated by a cloud service provider system, wherein the cloud services provider spending report comprises information indicative of costs of cloud services provider resource usage by the commerce platform system over a period of time, and receiving a service report for one or more systems of the commerce platform, wherein the service report comprises information indicative of execution of services of the one or more systems of the commerce platform over the period of time. A directed graph may then be generated that models costs of commerce platform system service usage at the cloud services provider system. The method may also include performing an analysis of the directed graph to attribute cloud service provider system cost information to the commerce platform system service usage at the cloud services provider system, and generating a report indicating cloud service provider system costs attributable services of the commerce platform system.
