overview amberflo enables enterprises to bring the same level of visibility, accountability, and automation to on premise and data center environments as they have in the public cloud with real time metering, flexible pricing models, and full chargeback and billing support, amberflo makes it possible to track, allocate, and monetize usage across hybrid and on prem infrastructure why it matters most on prem systems lack native billing data and real time cost visibility this makes it difficult to answer key questions how much does a specific application or team cost to run? who is using shared infrastructure? what internal or external customers should be billed? how can we compare on prem costs to cloud alternatives? amberflo solves this by turning infrastructure signals into real time meter events, applying pricing and allocation logic, and exposing unified cost and usage views across all environments what you can do with amberflo meter any on prem resource amberflo provides a flexible ingestion layer to track any usage signal compute cpu hours, core usage, job runtimes storage gb months, object counts, iops network ingress/egress volumes, transfer events gpu utilization, token counts, inference time custom any business specific metric you want to measure you can ingest usage via prometheus (e g , via node exporter or custom exporters) rest apis or sdks scheduled batch files or event streams learn more metering overview add pricing and cost attribution once you’ve captured usage, amberflo allows you to assign value to it using pricing plans and allocation rules you can apply internal rates for chargebacks and cost modeling set up business units to reflect your org structure attribute shared infrastructure by tag, region, service, or resource use allocation rules to fill in gaps where tagging is unavailable use cases amberflo enables a wide range of on prem and hybrid use cases ai/ml workloads meter gpu usage by model, team, or user bill internal teams or resell to customers shared kubernetes clusters track pod level metrics and allocate costs to business units private saas deployments bill customers based on usage of apis, storage, or compute data center chargebacks recover costs for power, cooling, storage, and compute hybrid infrastructure unify visibility across cloud and on prem to support migration planning and cost benchmarking benefits real time visibility into on prem usage and cost full chargeback and billing capabilities—no custom tooling required accurate cost attribution, even in multi tenant or shared environments seamless integration with existing systems (prometheus, logs, apis) unified reporting across cloud and on prem
