Hi Juan, My experience is merely a case of looking on the Hostbill website I'm afraid. I have a feeling that the solution may be subject to some limitations - I'm not sure how it handles resources that aren't originally provisioned by the Hostbill interface, and there's a noticeable lack of info on provisioning and billing for VPCs and advanced networking but perhaps not an issue for you. The demos I've seen seem to be focussed on using Cloudstack as a basic VPS hosting platform. Unfortunately that's about the extent of the insight I can offer. Search for "Hostbill Cloudstack" and you'll find a few demos with screenshots on their site.
If anyone has looked into this in greater detail, I too would be keen to hear about your experiences.

We are one of the most important public clouds in Colombia, all of our platforms are based on cloudstack and Cloud business portal. Right now we have a very complex problem because we are not being able to bill our costumers automatically. This is because all of our costumers have different prices for the same kind of product or VM, this is due to commercial issues and negotiations that are necessary to do in the colombian market. So we want to build a billing web application using the cloudstack API in order to create bills for costumers in an automatically way and also send alerts and take actions to suspend services if payments are not being received. Does anyone know examples of this kind of application using the cloudstack API, or have any insights on how we should approach this problem. Thank you for your help and pardon my bad spelling.
