Summary

  • Documentation

    • Added and refined the PRD for allocation-based block storage metering.
    • Defined GiB-second measurement by storage tier and provisioned capacity.
    • Clarified ownership for volumes attached to bare-metal hosts:
      • OSAC-3141 owns block-volume metering.
      • OSAC-2506 owns host-resource metering and host attribution.
    • Documented lifecycle, resize behavior, attribution, query dimensions, acceptance criteria, assumptions, risks, and dependencies.
    • Kept file and object storage out of scope.
  • API, controllers, database, auth, deployment, CI, and tests

    • No implementation changes were made.
    • No public entities or API surfaces changed.
    • No database, authentication, deployment, CI, or test changes were made.
  • Backward compatibility

    • No runtime, API, schema, authentication, deployment, or compatibility impact exists.

Risk classification

  • risk:ship — Documentation-only change with no executable code, data migration, or production behavior change.
  • The PR is close to risk:show, but it does not qualify because it introduces no user-visible runtime behavior or operational change.

## 1. Problem Statement

OSAC provisions storage resources — block volumes, file shares, and object storage buckets — but has no mechanism to track their consumption over time. Storage resources consume provider capacity from the moment they are created until they are deleted, regardless of whether they are actively in use. A block volume occupies backend disk space whether the parent VM is running or not. A file share reserves capacity on the storage backend from creation. An object storage bucket reserves provisioned quota on the backend regardless of how much data is actually stored.

Block and file sound reasonable. I'm not sure about object. Should we go by storage bucket quota or logical stored bytes in the bucket (sum of object sizes)?

The PRD meters provisioned quota (GiB-seconds), not logical stored bytes — see CAP-3 in Section 5.2. The rationale: backend storage is reserved at the provisioned size regardless of how much data is actually stored, so the provider's capacity commitment is the quota, not the bytes.

If we think logical stored bytes is the better model (or both should be tracked), happy to discuss — but provisioned quota aligns with how block and file storage are metered (reserved capacity over time).

The metering basis for block storage isn't really about whether the backend reserves physical capacity — it's that the tenant has no meaningful way to reason about actual backend consumption. Thin provisioning, lazy zeroing, compression, dedup, snapshots — all of these make the physical footprint opaque and variable in ways the tenant can't control or predict. Metering by logical allocation (the size the tenant requested) gives them a number they understand and can act on.

File storage doesn't have a set way to meter. AWS EFS is by consumed storage, GCP Filestore by provisioned, Azure Files has both models (provisioned for SSD, consumed for HDD), and VCD is configurable. It kind of depends on how we model the File service, which we haven't done yet. Same goes for Object Storage - it could be done either way, and the storage team needs to do some homework on file and object which are still roadmap items.

AI EP Review: EP-158

Score: 10/10 | Verdict: PASS

Criterion Score Notes
WHAT (clear need) 2/2 Clear product capability: metering and usage tracking for block and file storage. Three personas (Cloud Provider Admin, Tenant Admin, Tenant User) each have user stories under persona headings. Services in scope (VMaaS, CaaS, BMaaS) are identified. Capabilities are specific and user-observable: query storage usage by tier, capacity, tenant, project, and attribute storage to parent resources. Cloud Infrastructure Admin is correctly omitted — they manage infrastructure, not usage data.
WHY (justification) 2/2 Concrete justification in the problem statement: 'Cloud Provider Admins have no usage data to account for the storage capacity tenants hold' and 'Tenant Admins have no visibility into their storage footprint.' Consequence is named: the gap grows with each new storage type added without metering. The reasoning explains why allocation-based metering is the right model for block storage (thin provisioning makes physical footprint opaque). Strong causal chain from pain to capability.
User-Facing Focus 2/2 Exceptionally clean of design leakage. No controllers, reconcilers, playbooks, finalizers, or internal conditions are mentioned anywhere in the requirements or capabilities. The Usage Calculation Model (Section 6) defines business-level metering semantics (GiB-seconds, allocation vs consumption), not implementation. The only technical references are in Dependencies ('fulfillment-service proto') and Risks ('event pipeline, usage store'), which are appropriate in those sections. All capabilities a
Right-Sized 2/2 Coherent scope around 'storage metering.' Block and file metering are the same capability pattern applied to two resource types, serving the same personas with the same query dimensions. Parent-child attribution is necessary for complete storage usage views (a VM's total cost includes attached volumes). The PRD honestly notes they can be delivered incrementally, which is good implementation guidance without fragmenting the feature definition. A user asking 'show me my storage usage' expects both
Testability 2/2 All 11 acceptance criteria are verifiable through product usage: create a volume and query usage data, resize a volume and check updated usage, verify attribution to parent resources, query historical data, confirm consistency of repeated queries. Per-second granularity criterion is specific and measurable. No internal behaviors (controller states, finalizer logic, pipeline events) appear in acceptance criteria.

Verdict: A strong, well-calibrated PRD that clearly describes storage metering capabilities from the user's perspective, with concrete justification, clean separation from design concerns, and fully testable acceptance criteria.

Feedback: This PRD is ready for design phase. Two minor improvements: (1) The file storage metering model Open Question (allocation vs consumption) leaves CAP-2 partially unspecified — consider adding a decision deadline or stating which model will be the default if the question is unresolved by implementation time. (2) Consider adding an acceptance criterion for the resize timing edge case — when usage switches from old capacity to new capacity (immediately on resize request? on resize completion?).

Critical (0)

None.

Important (1)

  1. File storage metering model is an Open Question (Section 8), which means CAP-2 and the file row in the Usage Calculation Model table are partially unspecified. The acceptance criteria (Section 7, item 2) assume file storage metering works but don't distinguish between the two possible models. Consider stating a default model or a decision deadline so downstream design work can proceed.

Suggestions (3)

  1. Add an acceptance criterion clarifying resize timing behavior — when a volume is resized, does usage switch to the new capacity immediately on request or on resize completion? The current criterion ('subsequent usage data reflects the new capacity') is slightly ambiguous on timing.
  2. Consider adding a brief Documentation dimension note — even though UI is explicitly out of scope, the PRD doesn't mention whether API reference documentation for the new metering query dimensions is in scope or deferred.
  3. The 13-month historical data retention requirement (acceptance criterion 10) aligns with Part 1 but could benefit from a brief rationale — is this driven by annual billing cycles, compliance, or Part 1 consistency?

### 5.1 Block and File Storage Metering

The PRD defines metering granularity (GiB-seconds for data capture), not billing granularity. Per Part 1, metering captures usage at per-second precision so downstream systems (billing, quota, analytics) can aggregate to whatever period they choose — hourly, daily, monthly. The billing system's aggregation interval is out of scope for this PRD (see Section 3: "Costing, billing, quota enforcement, and budget alerts — deferred to a separate PRD").
Per-second metering data is strictly more flexible — it supports hourly billing without precluding finer-grained models.

### 5.1 Block and File Storage Metering

- **CAP-1:** Block storage volumes are metered using allocation-based metering from creation to deletion. The metering unit is GiB-seconds per storage tier.
- **CAP-2:** File storage shares are metered by storage tier from creation to deletion. The metering unit is GiB-seconds, but whether the meter tracks provisioned capacity (allocation model, as with block storage) or actual consumed capacity depends on the file storage service model — see Open Questions.

Not sure that provisioned capacity here makes sense.
We are not actually provisioning capacity.
In some of the cloud providers, theyu actually provision file infrastructure for the user, so billing on provisioning makes sense

We didn't discuss the design for file storage so it's hard to commit to the metering model at this point. Some clouds do it by allocation (e.g., "give me 100GB of file storage") while some do it according to actual usage.


### 5.3 Cross-cutting

- **CAP-5:** Storage usage data is available alongside existing metering data without additional admin configuration steps. All storage meters use the same accuracy and data-availability guarantees as Part 1 meters (CAP-4, CAP-15, CAP-16).

For Block storage this makes sense, the volumes and their sizes will be part of the inventory.
However, for file storage, this is not true. The information about the consumed size information will probably be in the storage system itself. We need to figure out how to expose it

…o OSAC-4940

Retitle to 'Metering for Block Storage', tombstone CAP-2 (file shares),
remove file-storage scope, acceptance criteria, the file-model open
question, and the OSAC-2387 dependency. File storage metering now lives in
OSAC-4940 (Metering for File Storage).

Score: 10/10 | Verdict: PASS
Feature: OSAC-3141

Criterion Score Notes
WHAT (clear need) 2/2 Clear capability: block storage metering by tier and capacity (GiB-seconds). Three canonical personas (Cloud Provider Admin, Tenant Admin, Tenant User) each have distinct, well-scoped user stories with genuinely different scope and outcomes. Services identified (VMaaS, CaaS, bare metal). No non-canonical persona headings.
WHY (justification) 2/2 Concrete justification naming specific pain: no usage data for provider capacity accounting, no tenant visibility into storage footprint across tiers. Strategic concern articulated — gap grows as OSAC adds storage types. Explains why allocation-based metering matters (volumes consume capacity regardless of VM state, physical footprint opaque to tenants).
User-Facing Focus 2/2 No design leakage. No controllers, reconcilers, finalizers, or internal components mentioned. All requirements describe user-observable outcomes. Platform vocabulary (VMaaS, CaaS, ComputeInstances, ClusterOrders, Volume) used appropriately. Dependencies section explicitly defers implementation mechanism to the enhancement proposal.
Right-Sized 2/2 One coherent capability (block storage metering) with tightly coupled parent-child attribution. Walking skeleton from a baseline of nothing. Economical treatment — no restated points, no non-template sections. Out of Scope clearly delineates boundaries with Jira links. Retention thresholds trace to Part 1 requirements. Per-second granularity threshold is unsourced (flagged as Important finding) but does not affect the scope assessment.
Testability 2/2 All 12 acceptance criteria describe user-observable, verifiable behaviors: provision a volume and query usage, test resize behavior, test failed provisioning generates no data, test stopped-VM continues metering, verify retention periods, verify idempotent query results. Each can be verified by a PM or QA engineer using the product.

Verdict: Strong PRD with clear user-facing need, concrete business justification, clean separation from design, focused scope, and fully testable acceptance criteria.

Feedback: The per-second granularity acceptance criterion should cite its source (Part 1 metering requirements, Jira clarification, or stakeholder decision) the same way the retention thresholds do — unsourced numeric thresholds risk being contested during design review. Consider whether Cloud Infrastructure Admin is an affected persona for capacity-planning visibility, or explicitly note they are not affected.

Critical (0)

None.

Important (1)

  1. Per-second granularity (AC line 8: 'Storage meters record usage at per-second granularity') is a numeric threshold without a stated source. Retention periods cite 'per Part 1 metering requirements' — the granularity threshold should similarly be sourced or marked TBD.

Suggestions (2)

  1. Cloud Infrastructure Admin is not mentioned — if they need storage usage data for capacity planning, they may be a missed persona. If not affected, no action needed.
  2. Parent-child attribution (In Scope bullet 2) could be deferred to a follow-up feature under the same Outcome if the walking skeleton needs to ship faster — the core per-volume metering provides standalone value.

@masayag: This pull request references OSAC-3141 which is a valid jira issue.

Warning: The referenced jira issue has an invalid target version for the target branch this PR targets: expected the feature to target the "5.1.0" version, but no target version was set.

Details

In response to this:

Summary

  • Add PRD for storage metering (Part 2b of the Metering Part 2 family)
  • Covers block volumes, file shares, and object storage buckets
  • Allocation-based metering (GiB-seconds per storage tier) plus consumption-based metering for object storage API requests

Jira

Related PRDs

Assisted-by: Claude Code noreply@anthropic.com

Summary

  • Documentation

  • Added a PRD for allocation-based metering of standalone block storage volumes.

  • Defined tier- and capacity-based GiB-second calculations from volume creation through deletion.

  • Documented resize behavior, parent-resource attribution, query dimensions, acceptance criteria, assumptions, and dependencies.

  • File storage and object storage remain outside this PRD’s scope.

  • API, controllers, database, auth, deployment, CI, and tests

  • No implementation changes were made.

  • Backward compatibility

  • No runtime, API, schema, authentication, deployment, or compatibility impact exists.

Risk classification

  • risk:ship — Documentation-only change with no executable code, data migration, or production behavior change.
  • It does not qualify for risk:show or risk:ask because it introduces no user-visible runtime behavior or operational risk.

Inline comments:
In `@enhancements/OSAC-3141-metering-storage/prd.md`:
- Line 86: Clarify the block-volume resize metering requirement by defining the
exact effective timestamp for the new capacity, specifying how usage intervals
are split at that point, and documenting behavior for failed or reverted resizes
so repeated resize events yield deterministic GiB-second totals.
- Line 34: Clarify the BMaaS scope consistently throughout the PRD: explicitly
state whether OSAC-3141 meters block volumes attached to BMaaS hosts while
OSAC-2506 meters host resources; otherwise remove the bare-metal volume coverage
from the sections describing metered volumes. Ensure the scope does not allow
omission or duplicate metering.
- Line 61: Update CAP-1 to explicitly define the lifecycle timestamps used for
GiB-second metering: identify the state transition that starts billing, the
transition that ends it, and the behavior for failed creation and partial
deletion. Align the rules with the available creating, available, deleting, and
deleted control-plane states so identical volume lifecycles produce consistent
totals.
- Line 66: Update CAP-3 to include a stable volume identifier as a required
query dimension, consistent with the individual-volume breakdown required
elsewhere in the PRD. Clarify whether capacity is a grouping dimension or a
measured value, and align the contract wording with the workflows described near
the existing volume requirements.
- Line 67: Define the parent-attribution contract for CAP-4 before
implementation, covering stable parent-resource identifiers and attach/detach
effective timestamps for VM, cluster, and bare-metal parents. Document field
ownership and lifecycle in OSAC-984 or this PRD, and do not rely on the reusable
spec.cluster name or proposed ClusterOrder UUID alone; preserve VMaaS/BMaaS
scope decisions explicitly.

Resolve the open CodeRabbit threads on PR osac-project#158:

- Remove bare-metal coverage; block volumes attached to bare metal hosts
  are deferred to OSAC-2506, stated explicitly in Out of Scope
- Replace retention "duration: TBD" with Part 1's concrete criteria
  (raw >= 7 days, aggregated >= 13 months, both configurable)
- Clarify the metered interval (available until deleted) and failed-
  provisioning behavior at a user-observable altitude
- Specify resize effective point and failed/reverted-resize behavior
- Record the OSAC-984 volume-to-parent association dependency without
  prescribing API fields (mechanism deferred to the design proposal)

- [ ] A block storage volume generates usage data (GiB-seconds) for the period it holds allocated capacity — from when it becomes available for use until it is deleted — queryable per tenant, storage tier, and capacity
- [ ] A block storage volume that fails to provision and never becomes available generates no usage data

Align the per-second criterion with the metered interval.

These lines start metering when the volume becomes available and exclude a volume that never becomes available. Line 56 still says a volume “existing for 30 seconds” appears in usage data. That wording can require usage for a provisioning-only volume. Change line 56 to say that a volume available for use for 30 seconds appears in usage data.

@masayag
masayag requested review from avishayt and ronniel1 September 7, 2026 14:46
CodeRabbit flagged a cross-PRD conflict: OSAC-2506 assigns the storage
volume meter to OSAC-3141 while owning the unified bare-metal-host
footprint view. The prior "defer BMaaS storage to OSAC-2506" wording
contradicted that and left the block-volume meter for bare-metal-attached
volumes unowned by either PRD.

Adopt OSAC-2506's meter-vs-attribution split:
- OSAC-3141 owns the block-volume meter for every volume, regardless of
  parent, including volumes attached to bare metal hosts
- OSAC-2506 owns bare-metal host-resource metering and the unified host
  footprint view that rolls those metered volumes into the host's usage
