Disable All Actions Switch under Global Default Policies must include Parking Actions. Currently does not.

People might assume that the Global Defaults Disable All Actions switch might work on Parking actions. And then during a cutover, machines would be turned off by accident causing massive disruption. EITHER this switch should INCLUDE parking action...

Turbonomic (Cloud) integration with Microsoft Azure Client/Custom Policies

We define policies in Microsoft Azure to provide subscription management for Virtual Machine size limitations. Turbonomic cannot currently read custom Azure policy and will therefore recommend, and attempt, to resize certain VM sizes. These Turbon...

Create an Account level policy entity type

When accounts have many different resource entity types, it's very cumbersome to create a generic policy for half a dozen resource types across dozens of accounts. If there was an Account policy type, high-level settings such as Action Generation:...

Allow for managing VM-to-VM anti/affinity rules directly in Turbonomic

As a user I would like the ability to create/modify/delete VM-to-VM affinity/anti-affinity placement policies, so that I do not have to create/modify/delete these rules in vCenter.

Filter based on risk category and description

Please add support to be able to create a group based on risk category (and description if possible) so that I can build policies that are specific to different types of risk. For example, I would like to be able to create a group and policy that ...

Track metadata on when a policy was created, modified and by who

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

Under the name allow for a short description to be added to explain why that particular group or policy needed to be created. This could then be displayed in the list of those object types for quick viewing. Example1: This group used to isolate th...

Allow a way to Save As New a copy of an existing group, schedule or policy object

Allow for a group, policy, or schedule to be duplicated. Save As New. Keep all current settings allowing the user to first edit the one variable that needs to change and then save to create it. This would significantly speed up the scoping pre-wor...

Within Turbo I should be able to select a group of items based on a larger group.

In my example I have created a group of accounts within our cloud environment, i should then be able to either apply a policy to the VM's that are in that group, or created a group of VM's that are in those accounts rather than having to duplicate...
