Hello Frans,

We are just about to release a first version of Ceilometer[1][2] which
provides a central point for a billing implementation to fetch its usage
data from.

Not sure if that fully answers your question though...

Re: [Openstack] Billing in Openstack

2012-08-30 Thread Emilien Macchi
Hi,

You should read Ceilometer Project [1] and try it into DevStack directly in
editing localrc before to run devstack and add :

enable_service ceilometer-acompute,ceilometer-acentral, ceilometer-collector

Enjoy !

 Greetings...!!

 I would like to generate billing of used resources (CPU, RAM, Disk) in
 openstack. Below are the details of my setup (Please ask me for more
 details if require regarding setup)

 Mainly I have used 2 system to make my setup, below are the details...

 1. *On First Laptop *(Dell - Latitude, with 4 GB RAM, Intel Core i5 vpro
 Processor, 500 GB Hard disk) I have installed a *virtual machine with
 CentOS (6.2)* on *Xenserver (6.0.2)* and on that *virtual machine I
 installed openstack* by following below links and some other links from
 google

 https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Getting_started_with_OpenStack_Nova
 http://wiki.openstack.org/XenServer

 2. *On Second Laptop* (same as above configuration) I have installed 
 *openfiler
 and made NFS and iSCSI targets* for glance, swift, and for instances.

 3. For network I am using BELKIN wireless adapter 5 port L2-switch)

 I am able to launch Instances from AMI's, instances are getting IP
 addresses, able to create volumes and attaching to the instances.

 All I need is, Is there any possibility in openstack where I can define
 the values / prices for the resources so that users will get the bills
 accordingly ?

 Below are the packages installed in my setup for dashboard
 python-django-horizon-2012.1.1-1.el6.noarch
 openstack-dashboard-2012.1.1-1.el6.noarch

 Is there any other packages should be installed to get billing option on
 dashboard?
 Any specific configuration required ?

 Please let me know how to get billing information of the used / using
 resources.

If fully second Emilien's suggestions.  As a quick note, I'd like to
level set your expectation as Ceilometer is metering tool, not a full
billing tool.  A full billing solution needs 3 components:

- Metering: to know what has happened on the cloud
- Rating: which transforms what has happened into price to bill (line items)
- Billing: which accumulates line items and create a bill to send to
customer and collect money

Which means that you will still need component 2 and 3 to do billing
after you have deployed Ceilometer.

Hope this helps.
Nick
