h2. Discussion: https://chat.ungleich.ch/ungleich/pl/o8y3tz8wo7ytje7o8nk9suw4qo > @mravi @ahmedbilal ping > > @mravi I'd like you to implement asap "ordering" and "products" with ucloud > > I think this is an important part that will also be used by other people who will be using ucloud in the end > > I imagine it as follows: > > We introduce a sub command ucloud order <product> > > that command talks to the API, the API to etcd > > the basic idea is that any product has two financial aspects: > > one time cost (can be 0 ... x) > > recurring cost (can be 0...x) and duration can be seconds to years - so we will need to store the unit with it > > For a lot of products the pricing will actually be 0 / 0 per x, like reverse DNS > > however treating everything somebody can book/buy, makes it easier to integrate > > @mravi I'd like you to implement the flow for buying an IPv6 VPN - adding products can for the moment "manual" or fiddling around directly with etcd > > However the logic should work for "any" product / we should be able to easily hook new products into the system > (edited) > > @mravi some additional commands that might be helpful: ucloud list-products and ucloud register-payment-method > > @mravi do you have any questions? > mravi profile image > 12:50 PM > > hmm, you probably already told this before @nico but would like to have a reconfirmation from you -- "ucloud uses etcd/json for all data" right? So, we don't any other database or am I missing something ? > nico profile image > 12:50 PM > > @mravi I think we can go etcd only, beside you have a good reason against it > > @mravi Performance wise I don't think etcd will have a problem, but there will be some client logic arranging data, as compared to sql based > mravi profile image > 12:55 PM > > @nico ack .. I would need some introductory lessons into ucloud -- I've been following your discussions but do not know much about how can I kickstart my work > nico profile image > 12:56 PM > > @mravi I think you can start almost clean plate, assuming you write python + probably flask ; however @ahmedbilal knows a lot of details and you can ping him in here > > @mravi payment has so far not been a topic in ucloud at all - so everything related to this is rather new > mravi profile image > 12:57 PM > > ack > nico profile image > 12:58 PM > > @mravi it would be cool if you could create a "dirty" prototype, being able to "order" an IPv6 VPN for 120 CHF/y; a plus if it is for free as long as you have booked any VM > mravi profile image > 1:00 PM > > ok h2.
