Apiculus at CloudStack Collaboration Conference 2022

14 November 2022, 15:50 – 16:20 CEST

This talk is intended for ISPs who want to bill CloudStack resources and software developers who want to build a billing solution based on CloudStack. This talk will cover multiple business and technical use cases (for example, plans, catalogues, flexible billing, tiered offerings, account management, and so on) for running a public cloud and how CloudStack can help with this. It does not go into detail about any specific billing system, but rather takes an open approach to how ACS features can be used to implement billing and monetise CloudStack.

This session will go over how to combine two or more disparate CloudStack environments to create a cloud with multiple availability zones (AZ). This unification, achieved through the Apiculus solution, can add tremendous value to service providers who want to add a business life cycle element (billing, marketing, customer management, and support) to their public cloud offering in addition to operating multiple CloudStack environments. This is a non-technical session with a demonstration of a multi-AZ cloud setup using CloudStack and Apiculus.

In this session, we will look at how enterprises have been realising that Hyperscaler clouds are not the best solution for all of their cloud needs and are repatriating a substantial portion of their workloads to various private cloud platforms. We will also look at how Cloudstack is best suited to meet the needs of these businesses.
