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.

End-users can boot instances from volumes.

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
