Abstract: Functionality is disclosed herein for charging for the use of software products based upon billable units defined by a software provider. The software product identifies the occurrences of the billable units as the software product is executing. The software product also sends billing data to a billing service identifying an occurrence of a billable unit, or billable units, such that an invoice may be created that charges for use of the software product based, at least in part, on the occurrence of the billable units.

Abstract: Functionality is disclosed herein for utilizing a picture created by a customer of a service provider network to define infrastructure associated with the service provider network or other networks. The picture may be a picture of a drawing or a model, for instance. The picture is analyzed to identify resources depicted in the picture as well as any connections between the resources. Based upon the analysis, configuration data that describes the configuration of the resources within the service provider network may be generated and used to perform one or more actions. For example, the configuration data might be used to generate a deployment template and/or used to provision the resources within the service provider network or other networks.

Abstract: Functionality is disclosed herein for utilizing a physical model to define infrastructure associated with the service provider network or other networks. The model is analyzed to identify resources represented by the physical model as well as any connections between the resources. Based upon the analysis, configuration data that describes the configuration of the resources within the service provider network may be generated and used to perform one or more actions. For example, the configuration data might be used to generate a deployment template and/or used to provision the resources within the service provider network or other networks. After provisioning, the model may show information relating to the operation of the resources within the network.
