New users can sign up and add invoicing information. VAT ID is validated online and client is marked as tax exempt if a valid VAT ID is provided.
End-users can create OpenStack compute instances up to the quota defined in OpenStack. For each end-user, a new OpenStack project is created. Compute instances actions available to staff and end-users: create, reboot, shutdown, rescue, rebuild, rename, resize, change root password, add/remove IP, add/delete security group, access web console, delete, see console log, see CPU and network metrics, create snapshots, attach volumes.
End-users and staff users can create networks and add IPv4 and IPv6 subnets.
End-users and staff users can create routers and assign networks to them.
End-users can define security groups and assign them to compute instances.
End-users can add and edit DNS zones. This feature uses OpenStack Designate API version 2.
End-user can deploy floating IP addresses and assign them to instances.
Fleio measures the OpenStack compute and storage resource your customers are using with a granularity of seconds, hours, minutes or days. Your customers can see a summary of the current or previous billing cycles, as well as detailed usage information. You can set pricing on the following parameters: instance flavor, instance state, instance type, instance operating system, vCPU count, RAM, local storage space or network volume storage, availability zone, cell; image: storage, availability zone, state etc.; volume size, availability zone, type etc.; flat network bandwidth pricing or tiered pricing.
Resource usage accounting does not depend on OpenStack Ceilometer project; instead, it uses the internal OpenStack message queue.
Fleio supports the following payment gateways: PayPal, Stripe and Romcard. Contact us if you need a module for another payment gateway.
Define tax rules per country and county/state. You can also define a start and end date for a rule to apply - useful when VAT rates are changing, for example.
Each client has a default currency and when you change the client's currency, it will not change the currency on the already issued invoice. Clients may have invoices issued in any currency. Services may have fixed pricing or dynamic pricing updated automatically based on exchange rate.
An open source (BSD license) fleio-whmcs module is available. Customers can place the order in WHMCS and add credit from WHMCS. The Fleio and OpenStack project are deployed automatically and credit is added to Fleio.
On pre-paid billing model, customers must first add credit and then they will be allowed to create cloud resources. Cloud resources consumption is limited to a configurable balance and cloud resources are (optionally) suspended automatically when defined balance is reached.
End-users can create volumes and can choose region, size and volume type. Volume size increments are configurable. Volumes can be resized, attached to instances and deleted.
Staff users can create and edit flavors and projects.
End-users and staff users can add SSH keys and assign them to compute instances on deployment.
End-users can add OpenStack API users authorized to manage cloud resources in their own OpenStack project.
Fleio supports multiple OpenStack regions, end-users being able to choose region when creating cloud resources.
Fleio features may be disabled individually. You can enable or disable compute instances, backup, instance snapshots, volumes, OpenStack end-user API, DNS PTR, network, security groups and many more.
The OpenStack resource pricing and the automatic actions (egg. auto-suspend on out of credit) is configurable per client groups.
Invoices are issued when customer adds credit (pre-paid model) or at the end of billing cycle based on cloud resources consumption. Automatic notifications are sent on low credit, invoice issued and other events.
You can define pricing for other kind of services, like system administration monthly charge. Define one time price or recurring on: calendar month, X days, X months, X years.
Customers' orders fraud check by using the MaxMind API.
Define authorized operations per staff user or group of users.
Fleio is commercial software, but over 99% of our source code is available. Anyone can audit the source.
Fleio is a Single Page web Application (SPA) and everything is based on an API available to developers and third party tools.
Our modern architecture allows serving the frontend files from a CDN network, run the staff panel in a VPN and use our REST API to integrate with other systems.
