Workload Optimization (Rightsizing)

Rightsizing Filter enhancement

Can we have a search box in the rightsizing area so we can search/filter by resource id? It enables key stakeholders to manage recommendations by resource ID's. We would also suggest the ability to filter if there is a comment on a recommendation.

Bulk Comment

Would like the ability to block comment on similar recommendations - we can then vet the snoozed items checking appropriate narrative has been left to build a profile of recommendations and reasons why they can't be achieved.

RDS - Unable to separate instance and storage recommendations

This would enable users to focus on instance or storage (where one or the other may not be actionable)

Unable to specify/filter details on Rightsizing recommendations

Recommendations may not be applicable and does not provide a true picture on the size of the prize, by filtering out reoccuring opportunities we could move onto opportunity 2 ie. for EBS, omit sc1

"IN" operator in Rightsizing module

I would like to request the addition of an "IN" operator to the filtering options within the Rightsizing module. This would allow users to filter resources by providing a list of values (eg. resource IDs) in a single condition

For container rightsizing, add data on whether horizontal pod autoscaling (HPA) is on to the available data

Having information on HPA status is helpful in determining how to respond to rightsizing recommendations. It would be useful for customers to have this in Cldy vs. needing to look to other tools to find this information.

Container recommendations should include recommendations where limits = request for all resources and one where they are not identical.

Customers would like to see recommendations where they can guarantee that the workload will have the resources as well as ones where the ability is variable (limit does not equal requested). Different workloads have different needs. It would be he...

Add assignment option at policy creation

When creating policies, there is no option to select an assignee. If the policy creates 250 cloudability issues, then we have to go through each task and manually add the assignee. It would be incredibly helpful to select the assignee name at poli...
