Lessons learned from public cloud billing

Public Cloud

Using OpenStack for a public cloud has a range of challenges, and one of hardest parts is often billing. This is an area deployers may run into some frustrating and unexpected problems.

Deployers expect a good billing system to inergrate with their existing ERP system, but those integrations likely need custom features and flexibility.

They need to be ready to handle bugs in the telemetry chain (service bugs, notification bugs, ceilometer bugs), and make sure their billing isn't missing information because of it.

Their solution needs to be able to handle at least 1000+ customers and 50+ metrics/products.

In this session, we will share the first-hand experience about running billing on Catalyst Cloud, which is a public cloud based in New Zealand.

What can I expect to learn?

Attendees could get some best practices about how to do billing in public cloud based on OpenStack.
