Welcome to the charging-docs wiki!

This is a wiki to gather requirements and information about chargeback as they are implemented in ManageIQ. It is also trying to reflect some views about what a cloud is, what is important and distinctive in a cloud environment, and thus differentiate from other implementations.

All contributions are welcome and appreciated... Please send your comments and changes and we will adopt them.

Please have a look at https://www.pivotaltracker.com/n/projects/1958459 to see what we are currently developing.
