Workload Optimization (Rightsizing)

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...

Include allocation tag or bm values in rightsize reports

Current rightsizing reports rely heavily on the use of view filters to isolate and identify the workload represented. I've worked for a couple of organizations as a FinOps expert and when I meet with teams it is not to look at one workload at a ti...

Need broader insight into rightsizing opportunities

There are a lot of opportunities to save that Cloudability does not inform users about. Some of them are difficult to find without collecting information, merging data, comparing options. This is the work Cloudability does for EC2, RDS, etc. Why n...

Rightsizing Policies to include a Container Option

Add into the existing Rightsizing Policies creation a tab / option for Containers. This will allow policy creation to trigger related tickets/tasks specific for Containers - this functionality does not currently exist.

Add Payer ID and Payer Name as dimensions available in rightsizing, commitments, and utilization reporting

Please expose Payer ID and Payer Name as first-class dimensions across rightsizing, commitments, and utilization reporting. This would let enterprises with multiple AWS organizations or consolidated billing structures segment and compare recommend...

Default dimensions for Rightsizing Explorer

I would like to set my own personal preference for dimensions to default on Rightsizing Explorer. I seldom use region and OS on the explorer so I would prefer to not see them every time I open the Rightsizing page. This would be great to cache or ...
