Hi! We have developed Nova Billing v2. Its documentation is currently available at http://aababilov.github.com/nova-billing-doc.github.com/. The documentation includes a glossary and architecture and API descriptions.
Nova Billing v2 is a totally new solution. Its API and architecture were rewritten from scratch. The new Nova Billing introduces extensible modularized system with separate components. Nova Billing v2 can charge arbitrary resources according to custom billing schemas and, naturally, with different tariffs. Nova Billing v2 does not depend on any UI for OpenStack Cloud (neither OpenStack Dashboard nor any other solution). It does not require a particular OpenStack release. Provided components allow integration with diablo and essex and this list can be extended. Nova Billing v2 is event-driven and does not consumes system resources for periodical polling. Nova Billing v2 uses a RESTful protocol, so it is easy to integrate it with miscellaneous user clients and to add third-party components notifying about arbitrary events.
