Making Apache CloudStack market ready with a native rating solution
summary
Apache CloudStack gains a native rating stack: an usage collector turns platform events into auxiliary tables, then a quota 2.0 engine runs per-entry or monthly pricing pipelines. Tariffs are context-based JavaScript tariffs using attributes like account, host tags or storage type to apply different prices (per-host Platinum/Gold tiers, SSD volume premiums, Windows license charges), support prepaid/postpaid and chained discounts, and currently uses older ECMAScript with limited docs; planned work upgrades script version, docs, and upstream merges.
