Have Turbonomic pull data from Infrastructure of Instana not Application Perspective

Have Turbonomic pull data from Infrastructure of Instana not Application Perspective. Since Instana views active VMs differently in the application perspective not all VMs show up and then does not populate to Turbonomic. But in Instana Infrastruc...

Turbo does not support SQL database scaling actions between vCore and DTU pricing models

Turbonomics can scale up/down existing tiers but cannot change the service tier (vCore to DTU) or provision an elastic pool. Existing customer would like to use it now. Could this be considered to be an enhancement to address this limitation?

CPU scaling on vCPU not MHz

As I know Turbonomic is scaling vCPU based on the MHZ or GHz config of the underlying physical Host. The problem with this is that we have some virtual machine groups with „consistent resizing“ but Turbonomic has actions for one vm to increase vCP...
