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...

Add recommendations for rightsizing Compute within same instance family

In the Cloudability rightsizing module, each resource ID typically receives 3–5 recommendations, which appear to be ranked by estimated savings and risk. However, in many of the tickets we’ve reviewed, the tool does not suggest downsizing within t...
