HI, I'm not sure you actually can. What billing integration we have is service offering based. You can create as many as you want and you price them individually. I think cloud usage stores how long a service offering was used and you bill based on that. Of course there are other aspects to usage like network traffic in/out and snapshot etc but the CPU/RAM based billing comes from the service offerings. Also the way I see things if we "lock down" clients to specific offerings we can plan ahead what/how much resources you might need to fulfil their requirements.

How would you meter and bill adhoc instance types created by customers? Just curious. Regards @shankerbalan
