OpenStack Rating and Usage Reporter
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Goal
----

The goal of this project is to automate the extraction of the metrics from
ceilometer, map them to rating informations and generate reports.

Status
------

This project is **highly** work in progress. Most of the work that we've done was
targeted to quickly create a POC. We are now aiming towards the creation of an
OpenStack module. Changes needed to attain our goal are huge, that's why the
time between commits can be long.

Roadmap
-------

* Create a project API to manage the configuration of rating modules and
  request informations.
* Every rating module should be able to expose its own API.
* Move from importutils to stevedore.
* Scheduling of rating calculations
* Better collection of ceilometer metrics (Maybe Gnocchi)
* Global code improvement


In a possible future :

* Spawning of instances to do the calculations
