Open Infrastructure

This module should be rather generic, but still out-of-the-box usable.

The basic setup / changes should be as follows:

CLI¶

• modify the CLI to query the pay service before creating a resources, whether it needs to be paid
  • if it needs to be paid, require user to pass --pay flag
  • if not, allow CLI to continue without confirming payment
• add function to retrieve bills
  • by default timeframe is "current month"
  • time frame can be set arbitrarily
  • regular users can only retrieve their own bill(s)
  • users in the realm "ungleich-admin" can retrieve bills for any users
  • bills should be displayed in
    • ascii format
    • json objects
    • pdf [ we need a template here]

ucloud-pay service¶

Support for ucloud-cli¶

• This is an "informational only" interface
• It will return the price that a user will have to pay for requesting a specific resource
• This will not cause any billing

Event watching¶

• ucloud-pay will watch the etcd store for changes
• Each time it finds objects that need to be paid, it charges the user/owner

Billing support¶

Credit card¶

• Should be added by stripe (maybe other providers later)
• Might need to create subscriptions (Ping Mondi for it)

By bill / bank¶

If a user is eligible for paying by bill, create an entry in etcd for the used resource.
