Newly created Instance Types not be added automatically added to the existing policies

When exporting all Cloud Pending Actions from Actions Center, we would like to have the Resource ID (vendor ID from the entity information widget) included in the Export.

This would be extremely useful when reconciling cost data between Turbonomic and the AWS Billing console. Our FinOps Team and Budget Managers use data from both Turbonomic and AWS Billing Console to show the value of Turbonomic Recommended Actions.

Ability to change policies on Databricks clusters: autoscale;autopause

Enhance the Workload Widget to show where new workloads are coming from to properly estimate and manage Turbo licenses.

There is a widget called Workload Improvement – and it has 3 types, On-Prem, Cloud and Hybrid. I think it would be VERY useful if we add various parameters to this graph (focusing mostly on cloud) 1)Provider (aws, gcp, azure0 2) Subscription (Acco...
