Abstract

Embodiments relate to systems and methods for generating a marketplace brokerage exchange of excess subscribed resources using dynamic subscription periods. A set of aggregate usage history data can record consumption of processor, software, or other resources subscribed to by a set of users, in one cloud or across multiple clouds. An entitlement engine can analyze the usage history data to identify a subscription margin for the subscribed resources, reflecting collective under-consumption of resources by the set of users on a collective basis, over different and/or dynamically updated subscription periods. In aspects, the set of estimated resource contributions of different users can be aggregated over one or more dynamic resource contribution intervals to generated a bundled brokerage resource tender, in which the processor, operating system, and/or other resources of multiple users are combined to be offered to a cloud marketplace for one or more contribution interval. The bundled resource offer can be structured to contain at least a threshold amount of resources over a minimum or other defined contribution interval, after which resources are released back to the contributing users.
