Disk usage metric for EBS and GPD

Currently we cannot look at the disk usage data for EBS and GPD, most of the disks are over provisioned and we pay for what we allocate than what we use. Cloudability is showing these metrics for RDS in AWS, why cant we do it for EBS and GPD with ...

The plan function should include migration of SQL Managed Instances from on prem to the cloud.

These are very expensive entities - and the ability to estimate costs would be good. Also important, some customers use the exported plan as an input into a semi-automated migration process. So being able to include SQL machines in the planning fu...
