Dashboard

The Cyclops Dashboard is one of the support services as part of CYCLOPS - A Rating, Charging & Billing solution for Cloud being developed by InIT Cloud Computing Lab at ZHAW. It is the place for users to check their usage data, connect to cloud providers and manage bills. Admins can use it to configure the different microservices and maintain user accounts.
