A blog post from Reuven Cohen of Enomaly, in the form of musings on billing, metering, and measuring the cloud, and specifically, Amazon’s current inability to offer real-time billing-related reporting for their cloud services.
A blog post from James Hamilton, of the Microsoft Windows Live platform team, provides some brief thoughts on the fact that service billing is hard. The comments thread holds a few things of interest, too.
