cm-charge

Tags a resource with a cost center for billing management.

Supports complex billing scenarios by indicating that the costs for the tagged resource should be aggregated against this identifier. Only a single “Bill To” reference can be tagged against a resource.

Hierarchical billing can be supported using Bill To values following an agreed convention such as root.parent.child.leaf, and performing custom processing on the resulting usage data from a cloud bill.
