Technical Note: Using VMware vCenter Chargeback

Manager with VMware vCloud Director

Calculating Resource Costs

Base-rate calculation includes: time interval* rate cost* used units* rate factor.

following result: 2 hours* $0.05 USD GB/hour* 20GB* 1.0 = $2 USD.

If the billing policy is set to charge based on usage instead of allocation, the used units is the usage value for the

resource that is obtained from vCenter Server.

At the virtual machine level, the billing policy dictates whether costs are applied for the entire report duration or

for only the duration when a virtual machine is powered on.

and are applied only for the duration when a virtual machine is powered on. The change in virtual machine size

will trigger a separate line item in the report, reﬂecting the conﬁguration change and the new ﬁxed cost applied.

The two totals are added together for the ﬁnal cost.

User Management

vCenter Chargeback Manager does not extract, consume or sync with vCloud Director user logins, roles or

permissions. After initial installation of vCenter Chargeback Manager, an administrator user is created in it, and

all the vCloud Director objects belong to this user. Only the administrator/supervisor user can grant permissions.

There are no per-organization users, and no vCloud Director user information is passed on to vCenter

Chargeback Manager.

Assigning roles to users

•Assigning a role on vCenter Chargeback Manager, other than the supervisor user role, deﬁnes only the actions

that the user can perform in the application. This does not implicitly give access to the resources created in the

application. To access a resource, the user either must have created it or explicitly be assigned a role for it.
