Currently, to get the usage of published marketplace services we have to go into the UI and do the following steps for each marketplace service: Click on respective workspace -> Marketplace -> Service Brokers -> respective Service "Published Service Brokers" -> Metering & Usage -> CSV Export This is very tedious. It would be great to get the usage via API.

We need in the metering API the 2 fields "sellerID" and "sellerProductGroup" in the meshTenantUsageReports.

As an Application Owner I would like to create Azure management groups, so I can share my Reserved Instances and Saving Plans across my Subscriptions.

As a Application Team I want to automatically switch to my substitute payment method if the budget is completly consumed or has already exceeded my budget.

We defined cost centers in our environment as tags, along with other important metadata related to payment methods. We need often to find specific cost centers to help the accounting team with queries and budget checks, but meshStack lacks tag filters on the payment method screen, so we can´t do this. Also, adding a direct link to the workspace from the payment method page—similar to what was done for projects—would streamline the support process by removing the need to manually switch between pages to access workspace details.

Users often order much more resources (such as CPU and memory) than they need or use. This creates a gap between allocated and utilized resources, resulting in financial inefficiencies. So we would like to have in meshStack some tools that will support optimization, such as charts that show users how many resources they used in the past so they can make more informed decisions and book fewer resources moving forward.

As a Platform Service creator (Platforms, Building Blocks, OSB), I would like to add set-up fees for my Platform Service to charge users once, when they created it

As a FinOps Team I require to update Payment Methods based on requests or other changes. The issue is that editing Payment Methods is rather hidden in meshStack as I: first find the Payment Method in the FinOps -> Payment Methods screen in the Admin Area to identify the Workspace Go to the Organization -> Workspace Screen to find the Workspace there to select the action "creade/edit Payment Methods" finding the Payment Method there again (if there are multiple Payment Methods) to finally update the Payment Method (e.g. amount, cost center, tags etc.) This is quite the journey for a rather simple task. A potential improvement would be to have a edit action in the FinOps -> Payment Method screen

When creating tags, it's already possible to enable the tag for replication. However, tags need to be explicitly configured via meshStack configuration model for inclusion in chargeback statements. A "enable tag in chargeback statements" checkbox on the tag configuration that replaces this would make self-service for this feature possible.

We don't have clear visibility into our total costs and what they consist of as a company. The chargeback page in meshStack doesn’t give us a full picture; instead, it spreads costs out, making it hard to have a view of overall expenses. We would like to have a showback page in meshStack that provides a clear overview of total costs. It would be helpful if it would include tips for optimizing our resources so we can make changes that positively affect our costs.
