Fleio OpenStack Billing System and Control Panel Features

  • Customer on boarding

    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.

  • OpenStack compute instances

    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. When creating an instance end-users can choose: local storage, existing volume or create new volume and choose volume type.

  • OpenStack networks

    End-users and staff users can create networks and add IPv4 and IPv6 subnets.

  • OpenStack routers

    End-users and staff users can create routers and assign networks to them.

  • OpenStack security groups

    End-users can define security groups and assign them to compute instances.

  • OpenStack DNS zones

    End-users can add and edit DNS zones. This feature uses OpenStack Designate API version 2.

  • OpenStack floating IPs

    End-user can deploy floating IP addresses and assign them to instances.

  • OpenStack resource usage and pricing

    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.

  • Payment gateways

    Fleio supports the following payment gateways: PayPal, Stripe and Romcard. Contact us if you need a module for another payment gateway.

  • Tax rules

    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.

    Staff users can edit email notification templates including translations in other languages. The notifications are send based on the client's language.

  • True multi-currency

    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.
