Policies

When a script is part of a resize policy the vCPU & vMEM actions are executed together.

Execution of pending actions are completed immediately instead of backing off or executing separately extending the change window. Fewer number of reboots to complete pending actions including vMEM, vCPU, socket matching compliance. Script complet...

Allow for CPU Increment Size in vCPU Scaling Controlsto be extrapolated from "Change" field

We, like many customers, require the ability to increment by 2 (avoid odd number of cores) regardless of scaling control type. Currently, the tool only allows for that to be adjusted if we change "Virtual CPU". We need more granularity in ways we ...

When creating a volume scaling policy I want to be able to easily select groups for the policies in the same way as the VM policies work.

Currently I have to use a regex expression to include all the groups that the policy applies to. This is highly inconvenient as every time I want to add a new group to the policy I have to construct a new regex expression.

Provide a means of identifying/managing policies with no/empty scope groups

As a user I would like the ability to identify policies that no longer have a scope group associated or groups that no longer have any members, so that I can ensure my automation is being enforced correctly as well as reduce "clutter".

automated & time-bound exclusion of certain VMs from downsizing due to CTO mandate

Customer story. The CTO mandates certain VMs are excluded for a certain time from the standard downsizing policies which run at each month end. Current process is a bore - manually pulling these machines into a RECOMMEND ONLY OVERRIDE group (leavi...

Add group filter "Cloud Tier" for Database Servers entities

If you want to create a group with all databases with version db.r6g as example, you can't use the cloud tier as a filter. Customers can't limit the resize to his own family, since Turbonomic is not RI RDS aware.

Manage Move Automation on a non-VM level

Turbo WPA is a competitor to VMware's DRS capabilities. Considering most customers ofTurbo are virtualized with VMware, we/they need a way to handle WPA on a cluster level, instead of having to create a group of VMs based on cluster resourcing as ...

Move enable/disable disruptive actions from Policy wide to action type

The option to enable/disable disruptive actions policy-wide is very restrictive. Most downscale actions are disruptive, but most upscale actions can be non-disruptive. In the current implementation, only a group of VM can be marked with this setti...

Improve adding groups to "Volumes" and "Database" policies

Currently, when changing the scope of a policy, the new scope overrides the old scope once saved. This only occurs for database policies and volume policies, not virtual machine policies. For example, if i have a policy and the scope is for group ...
