Systems and methods for providing cloud computing semantic layer operations

A method for providing a cloud computing semantic layer operation, comprising:

• receiving, by a computing system from a cloud provider associated with a first cloud computing platform, a first resource usage indication corresponding to a first cloud operation performed on the first cloud computing platform, wherein the resource usage indication comprises a direct or indirect indication of at least one of a storage amount, a compute amount, a number of transactions, a bandwidth, a number of application programming interface calls, an application type, or a database type associated with the first cloud operation;
• providing, to a client, an estimated resource usage indication based on the received first resource usage indication and a request of the client that indicates performance of a semantic layer operation;
• and
• communicating, by the computing system, with the cloud provider to perform the semantic layer operation in accordance with the request.

A non-transitory computer readable medium containing instructions that, when executed by at least one processor of a system, cause the system to perform operations comprising:

• receiving, from a cloud provider associated with a first cloud computing platform, a first resource usage indication corresponding to a first cloud operation performed on the first cloud computing platform, wherein the first resource usage indication comprises a direct or indirect indication of at least one of a storage amount, a compute amount, a number of transactions, a bandwidth, a number of application programming interface calls, an application type, or a database type associated with the first cloud operation;
• providing, to a client, an estimated resource usage indication based on the received first resource usage indication and a request of the client that indicates performance of a semantic layer operation;
• and
• communicating with the cloud provider to perform the semantic layer operation in accordance with the request.
