Re: Custom billing Application using CloudStack API

2014-03-06 Thread John Kinsella 
I was avoiding the convo and looking forward to the Denver talk, but since HB 
was directly mentioned...

We use Hostbill…opinions are mixed, mostly because they encrypt the php code so 
we can’t easily modify things. We are not yet using the metered billing 
functionality.

Hostbill’s management are engineers with little business sense, and 
unfortunately frequently rub customers the wrong way, as a result customers 
have created their own forums[1] I think when hb shut down the ones they used 
to run. They’re quick to respond, the the product is constantly gaining new 
functionality, so there are a lot of positives about the product.

Actually, browsing around, I see they charge new customers for the CS module 
now…sigh.

What I’d say is if you’re looking to run a clean/simple public IaaS and need a 
customer control panel/billing solution, consider HB. If you expect to need 
more functionality than on their CS page [2], at some point it’ll be better to 
build in-house.

I’d love to see a solid open-source replacement for things like WHMCS/Hostbill, 
but this is one of those areas where companies tend to build in-house.

Hi Adrian

I have the same concerns about the Hostbill solution as you do, What about 
Zuora ? Has anybody try them does their solution has a good integration with 
cloudstack?

Asunto: RE: Custom billing Application using CloudStack API

Hi Juan,

My experience is merely a case of looking on the Hostbill website I'm
afraid. I have a feeling that the solution may be subject to some
limitations - I'm not sure how it handles resources that aren't originally
provisioned by the Hostbill interface, and there's a noticeable lack of
info on provisioning and billing for VPCs and advanced networking but
perhaps not an issue for you. The demos I've seen seem to be focussed on
using Cloudstack as a basic VPS hosting platform. Unfortunately that's
about the extent of the insight I can offer. Search for "Hostbill
Cloudstack" and you'll find a few demos with screenshots on their site.

If anyone has looked into this in greater detail, I too would be keen to
hear about your experiences.

Adrian

Subject: Custom billing Application using CloudStack API

Hi everyone

I work for a company name Kumo (www.kumo.com.co). We are one of the most
important public clouds in Colombia, all of our platforms are based on
cloudstack and Cloud business portal. Right now we have a very complex
problem because we are not being able to bill our costumers automatically.
This is because all of our costumers have different prices for the same
kind of product or VM, this is due to commercial issues and negotiations
that are necessary to do in the colombian market. So we want to build a
billing web application using the cloudstack API in order to create bills
for costumers in an automatically way and also send alerts and take
actions to suspend services if payments are not being received. Does
anyone know examples of this kind of application using the cloudstack API,
or have any insights on how we should approach this problem.

Thank you for your help and pardon my bad spelling.

Re: Custom billing Application using CloudStack API

We've used Amysta for CloudStack Billing Solution. Easy to integrate,
flexible and affordable.

I've done a demo here. Fast forward to 10:45 (this is an older version,
newer is obviously better)

problem because we are not being able to bill our costumers automatically.
This is because all of our costumers have different prices for the same
kind of product or VM, this is due to commercial issues and negotiations
that are necessary to do in the colombian market. So we want to build a
billing web application using the cloudstack API in order to create bills
for costumers in an automatically way and also send alerts and take actions
to suspend services if payments are not being received. Does anyone know
examples of this kind of application using the cloudstack API, or have any
insights on how we should approach this problem.

Hi Juan,

Related to Seb's reply, if you are attending the next CloudStack Collaboration 
Conference I will be presenting a talk on CloudStack Usage/Metering which you 
may find helpful. Meanwhile, here is the presentation slides from my last talk 
which may be of interest: 
http://www.slideshare.net/ShapeBlue/working-with-cloudstack-usage-data

I have worked on several projects involving billing CloudStack and Cloud Portal 
Business Manager based Public Clouds and I am sure we can help with your 
requirement, please feel free to email me.

Best Regards,

Tariq Iqbal

Hi Juan,

We (ShapeBlue) have done a number of projects involving billing integration 
with Cloud Portal Business Manager so we would certainly have insights into how 
this can be achieved. Perhaps you should get in touch with us off-list
