Breakout list of user-defined policies into entity type to match the list provided in the group management UI

Current groups are broken out by VM, Account, DB, etc. In policies they are only grouped by imported, user defined, etc. Would be more useful to add sub sections by policy type: VM, Volume, etc.

Provide more granular label in UI for AWS RDS Aurora Volume types

Currently the UI only shows that an RDS instance is on aurora storage but not which type. Aurora offers two types of storage I/O and Standard https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/AuroraUserGuide/Aurora.Overview.StorageReliability.html

Add description or summary field to Groups and Policy forms

When viewing a list of workloads, there is no way to sort or filter them. Specifically by status.

When viewing a list of workloads, you have to keep clicking More, More, More to get to the bottom of the list where Idle resources usually sit. Sort and filter options don't yield a viable way to display a subset of workloads (Active, Idle) or (Re...

Turbonomic should be able to Suspend SQL Managed Instances

Turbonomic has suspend already for VMs and RDS servers. What about SQL MI? The customer would save on compute costs - but of course still have to pay for storage, etc.

Error alerting for mandatory field when populating any form

If a required field isn't filled out such as group/policy name or required field such as policy scope isn't selected. It doesn't direct the user towards the problem. Maybe a red highlight or prompt near the Submit button to point them as to what e...

Scaling Constraints could use more granular timeframe for observation period.

Currently the Minimum Observation Period max is 7 days. (you may need a couple weeks or month minimum to stabilize a workload). The Max Observation Period jumps from 30 days to 90 days. A happy medium in between like 45/60days would probably help ...

Group Creation - Reduce the list of filter values based on previous filter criteria already applied

When creating a group, a filter is added and list of workloads identified updates in real-time to show applicable systems fitting that filter criteria. However, when adding the next filter type such as Tags, i.e. Application, and clicking the drop...

Fix consistency of Action Essentials between entity types

Currently other entity types such as RDS and EBS show whether downtime is required or not but EC2 does not provide this warning. Currently the State says "Action can be accepted and executed immediately." which may be misleading to someone not pay...
