Billing

Billing on Datum Cloud — billing accounts, the projects bound to them, and the payment methods that fund service consumption.

Datum Cloud manages billing through the billing.miloapis.com API. A billing account is the entity within an organization responsible for paying for service consumption; you bind projects to it so their usage rolls up to a single payer, and you attach payment methods that fund the account. Billing accounts and payment methods are created with datumctl apply -f and inspected with datumctl get and datumctl describe.

The Billing API is alpha (v1alpha1). Fields and behavior may change in backward-incompatible ways between releases.
