Thanks for the reply... as an OPs guy there are a ton of layered problems with running a highy elastic infra on something like AWS:
1. Dynamic registration of ephemeral systems with a monitoring platform.
2. Security monitoring of same
3. Meaningful graphing
When we are optimizing the purchase of hundreds upon hundreds of spot instances daily, where we are looking at grabbin hosts for just a couple cents an hour, the model of per host fees for things like StackDriver, CloudPassage and your service makes per-host pricing completely a no-go.
I don't have a good idea how these should be priced; but I think its important for people to understand all the other costs associated with having a solid management platform for your environment that covers all the bases and doesn't require another round of funding! :)
