The RCB initiative<\/a> is happy to announce that Cyclops<\/a>, our Rating-Charging-Billing solution for Cloud providers, now supports\u00a0Cloudstack<\/a>\u00a0framework as well as\u00a0external application specific Event based rating, charging and billing. Not only that, we now have\u00a0a cool\u00a0logo as well.<\/p>\n

\"logo_big\"<\/p>\n

There are several\u00a0novel features in the pipeline, and as the RCB initiative\u00a0now has\u00a0more researchers on board, one can expect to see a\u00a0faster development and release cycle.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In today’s public release, Cyclops\u00a0users\u00a0can now\u00a0log into their\u00a0Cloudstack accounts from it’s\u00a0Dashboard<\/a> and monitor the consumption of all the vanilla Cloudstack meters. The OpenStack support was already included and still is into this week’s\u00a0release.<\/p>\n

\"cloudstack_meters\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Cyclops UDR<\/a>\u00a0now processes the usage of those meters and generates Usage Data Records, Cyclops RC<\/a>\u00a0creates charge reports out of those and finally Cyclops Billing<\/a>\u00a0generates bills out of these charge records seamlessly.<\/p>\n

Regarding the Event based metering, charging and bill generation, Cyclops utilizes application specific billable events sent to\u00a0RabbitMQ<\/a>\u00a0as long as the events conforms to the specified\u00a0Format<\/a>. With such\u00a0events Cyclops\u00a0is able to compute all the intermediate charge records from such independent and properly\u00a0timestamped\u00a0metered data objects.<\/p>\n

Stay tuned for our forthcoming\u00a0exciting features!<\/p>\n

Cyclops Team.<\/p>\n
