Recommendation age to track how long it has been around

this would be good to track age of a recommendation and enable the prioritisation of aged recommendations

Enable automatic ROI ticket creation for all unattached disks.

Current policy only creates tickets when recommendations are “terminate” or “right‑size.” we want a direct filter for “unattached” state so tickets are generated for every unattached resource, regardless of savings threshold.

Allow Cloudability right‑sizing policies to run with thresholds below $1.

Current minimum savings threshold is $1, which excludes many unattached disks with smaller cost impact. Lowering the threshold to <$1 ensures all unattached resources are captured, aligning with campaign goals to remove all unattached disks, no...

Export all of rightsizing data in one export

We have users that use the rightsizing chart for FIG and want to export all of AWS and AZURE with its services (for example, aws: EC2, EBS, S3, RDS) all in one export. Instead right now they are having to create several exports for AWS and AZURE f...

In the rightsizing there isn't an option to select multiple rows and close the cloudability issue but requires one-by-one.

Using the rightsizing tool, we created cloudability issues and have to close each one manually not able to select multiple and close all based on a view. Would be helpful to allow closing the issues in bulk.

In the rightsizing the policy only allows for 100 maximum results to assess to create an issue or incident.

By only allowing 100 maximum results, only 100 are tracked based on the one policy created. We have to have a issue/incident in order to get realized savings. Limiting to 100 requires lots of additional policies to be created and still limits to 1...

Align the memory utilisation metrics for both Linux and Windows instances

I was advised by the support team that Cloudability uses the "Memory % Committed Bytes In Use" metric to measure memory utilization for Windows instances, whereas the "mem_used_percent" metric is used for Linux instances. In our AWS environment, t...
