Billing with API and Keypairs

[benjamin000]

Hello

I am juggling between vrealize automation for our new private cloud and want to know if this would be suitable for billing for cloud customers. In addition am I correct in reading that Linux VMs can have ssh keys injected using the API

Syntax for Getting a Key Pair List

If using this will our billing system I am more than happy to have a module built but need to know if this would be possible to provide cloud virtual machines while allowing to charge customers for consumed resources.

This is a very generic question because it really comes down to how you're using the CMP and what type of billing you'd be providing. vRA itself relies upon vRB for costing mechanisms, so more than likely you'd be interfacing with it as an API endpoint for any billing system you put together. But it has limited capabilities it exposes, so it depends on what your requirements are.
