Abstract: A method performed by a controller configured to communicate with one or more cloud platforms that are configured to host application components, which are configured to implement user services over a network, the method comprising: generating an application dependency mapping of the application components; collecting traffic flow data to identify data transfers between the application components; defining an application boundary around particular application components of the application components in the application dependency mapping; overlaying the application dependency mapping, the traffic flow data, and the application boundary, to identify particular data transfers between the particular application components; computing a network cost based on individual costs of the particular data transfers; and adding, to the network cost, compute and storage costs for the particular application components, to produce a total cost of using the particular application components.
