AnVILBilling

AnVILBilling retrieves and reports usage expenses in NHGRI AnVIL by querying BigQuery tables to monitor, categorize, and visualize cloud computing costs associated with bioinformatics tasks.

Key Features:

• BigQuery Integration: Queries a BigQuery table to which AnVIL costs are exported daily.
• Task Categorization: Functions categorize tasks and their associated expenditures.
• Expense Visualization: Visualizes and explores expense profiles over time.
• Cost Estimation: Planned expansion to estimate costs for specific task sets.

Scientific Applications:

• Cloud Cost Monitoring: Tracks and reports usage expenses for NHGRI AnVIL cloud-based bioinformatics analyses.
• Budget Management: Supports financial oversight of large-scale genomic and computational projects by analyzing expenditure patterns.

Methodology:

The package queries a BigQuery table to which costs are exported daily, then applies functions to categorize tasks and expenditures for visualization and temporal exploration of expense profiles.
