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.
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.
End-users can boot instances from volumes.
We also support snapshots, reverting and backup for volumes. Users can create, edit and even revert the snapshot to a previous version
Staff users can create and edit flavors and projects. Flavors can be preserved (to have the same UUID even after being updated and can be assigned into groups.
End-users and staff users can add SSH keys and assign them to compute instances on deployment.
SSH keys are injected into compute instances at deployment trough cloud-init.
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.
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 create pricing rules based on incoming/outgoing private and public traffic made by an instance.
Traffic pricing and calculation depends on OpenStack Ceilometer project. You can read more about ceilometer configuration here
