Vendor Specific Resource tracking (VIP service)

[mrnicegyu11]

Users in sim4life.io and sim4life.science need to get access to vendor specific features for a certain period of time (lease duration(s) to be defined). This requires the following infrastructure:

• The billing center needs to be extended to allow customers to select one or more features from a list to lease them for a certain duration. The list may dynamically change. For additional information on certain features, a link to the offical webpage will be provided. Normal credits can be used for the purchase.
• The resource tracking system will be extended such that it passes the information about purchased features as an environment variable to the user services. These string may be passed encrypted using vendor specific keys.
• The list of feature might be obtained from the venodr API
  Note: There might be other use cases for vendor specific billable features. Lets create something generic.

Notes

Backend vocabulary proposal

• license_goods -> table of products/items/goods/packages that are in the market (pricing_plan_id part of the table)
• license_purchases -> table of license purchases enabled for wallet_id with an expiration time + number of seats.
• resource_tracker_license_checkouts -> tracking license seats
  • checkout and release license seat
