Billing cloudstack

Hi,

For the folks running and billing their own Cloudstacks, what do you 
use? Looking for a nice self-service solution (billing perspective).
We run Ubersmith for other things, but it's not great with Cloudstack.
I noticed HostBill has a module for it. Any opinions on this?

Other ideas welcome, thanks!

Lucian

Hi

Cloudstack have limitation of Create Plan , and Limit by Data Transfer .

Hostbill version of Cloudstack working fine,  but the MeterBilling Of data
transfer only bill end of month. It wont stop the VM if  data transfer over
the limit.
Also , we do not know the data transfer that specific VM consume,
only after end of month billing generated.

Hey Lucian,
We built CloudMC for this (and other reasons).  It supports billing in a
multi-level multi-tenant environment, such as resellers.  It handles the
consumption, pricing and metering, but doesn't hook into an invoicing
system (currently) as we have found that every customer has a
unique invoicing system.  CloudMC is in production, delivering cloud
products for a few different telcos, some of which are based on CloudStack.

If you would like more information, I can help set that up, but here is a
link for now: https://www.cloudmc.cloudops.com/

Cheers,
