Glad to see there is another group interested in rating/billing. I'm
thinking if I should announce our rating service to join the fun :-) You
know, I'm kidding. The more groups join the rating service discussion,
the better. But IMHO, we just need one rating service for OpenStack. So
let's collaborate to work out a good rating service to benefit OpenStack
and consumer. But before more duplicate work, it would be great if we
can start some discussion. Cheers.

We are very pleased at Objectif Libre to intoduce CloudKitty, an
effort to provide a fully OpenSource Rating-as-a-Service comptinent in
OpenStack..
Following a first POC presented during the last summit in Atlanta to
some Ceilometer devs (thanks again Julien Danjou for your great
support !), we continued our effort to create a real service for
rating. Today we are happy to share it with you all.
So what do we propose in CloudKitty?
- a service for collecting metrics (using Ceilometer API)
- a modular rating architecture to enable/disable modules and create
your own rules on-the-fly, allowing you to use the rating patterns you
like
- an API to interact with the whole environment from core components
to every rating module
- a Horizon integration to allow configuration of the rating modules
and display of pricing information in "real time" during instance
creation
- a CLI client to access this information and easily configure
everything
Technically we are using all the elements that are used in the various
OpenStack projects like olso, stevedore, pecan...
CloudKitty is highly modular and allows integration / developement of
third party collection and rating modules and output formats.
A roadmap is available on the project wiki page (the link is at the
end of this email), but we are clearly hoping to have some feedback
and ideas on how to improve the project and reach a tighter
integration with OpenStack.
The project source code is available at
http://github.com/stackforge/cloudkitty
More stuff will be available on stackforge as soon as the reviews get
validated like python-cloudkittyclient and cloudkitty-dashboard, so
stay tuned.
The project's wiki page (https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/CloudKitty)
provides more information, and you can reach us via irc on freenode:
#cloudkitty. Developper's documentation is on its way to readthedocs too.
We plan to present CloudKitty in detail during the Paris Summit, but
we would love to hear from you sooner...
Cheers,
Christophe and Objectif Libre
