To ensure a fair share of resources for all EWC users while keeping usage as flexible as possible, each type of deployed resource is accounted hourly based and deduced from an annual billing unit budget (EWCU). In addition, each type of resource has quota defining hard limit which can't be exceeded at any point of time. Typically, quota is set higher than the annual budget, allowing temporary burst capacity for short period of time.

Accounting dashboard

Accounting dashboard is available at: https://accounting.europeanweather.cloud 

Credentials to the accounting dashboard system are created by default to the Computing Representatives and Tenant Admins in the tenancy creation phase. If you are a tenant-admin and would like to have credentials or would like to get credentials for tenant users, please raise a ticket containing the tenancy name(s) and email(s) of the user(s) who should get credentials. 

The accounting dashboard allows you to see how much budget you have left and analyze the consumption along with quota (hard limit of the resources).

Two dashboards are available:

1) Computing Representative dashboard, providing overview of the annual budget and consumption

2) Tenant dashboard, providing more detailed information on the usage.

Both dashboards are available for all users, while the Computing Representatives can see all tenancies within their Member State and Tenant Admins can only see their own tenancies.
