Workload Optimization (Rightsizing)

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

Add S3 in Rightsizing ROI

Currently we do not see AWS S3 service under rightsizing ROI feature. This feature would allow customers to automate the ticket creation for S3 service.

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...

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...

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...

Add additional granularity for hourly rightsizing opportunities to allow nighttime savings in rightsizing

Add granularity to the billing/costing information for Azure and GCP to allow for bucketing based on time of day (work weeks) as well as weekend and potential savings. Process similar to AWS.

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 ...

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.
