Azure Billing Currency Mismatch Warning

When using Azure Billing to an EA target we faced a problem recently that Turbonomic would fetch data with mismatching currencies. Is it possible for the engineering team to set a sort of check like in the target config for Azure Billing. It would...

The image of "Turbonomic recommendation action" as attached is just an example. Turbonomic is recommending that the current AWS EC2 VM be changed from A type to B type for better resource utilization. However, we can not know why the recommendatio...

Azure offer reservations for Azure CosmosDB. Can we see and recommend CosmosDB reservations please?
