Explanation
Measured service is one of the five essential characteristics of cloud computing as defined by NIST. It refers to cloud systems automatically controlling and optimizing resource use, with consumption monitored, controlled, and reported - enabling a pay-per-use billing model. 'Metered service' is a related concept but is not the official NIST term. 'Consumable service' and 'Billable service' are not recognized standard cloud computing terms.
