My ideas: IBM Turbonomic ARM

When the rate of resize is NOT 3 – show the desired end state. – let it be clear that it will take more steps to get to desired state.

If a customer has a Rate of Resize set to 2-Medium then Turbonomic will create an action to take it 25% of the way to the optimal value. And this jump (let’s say 32GB –> 34 GB memory) appears in the Action and Details. The optimal value is 8GB ...

Policies relating to a VM should always show under policies for an entity even if not active - ideally with the related schedule.

If I, a customer, attach a policy schedule to a policy (often by accident instead of an execution schedule) it is not easy to find. I am trying to understand the behaviour of a VM, so I got to that VM and look in the policies tab. I THINK that the...

Rate of Resize should have default of 3 High.

Make the Default Rate of Resize 3-High. Currently for on-prem the rate of resize has a default value of 2-Medium. This means that for both upsize and downsize recommendations – the action suggested is only 25% of the way to the optimal desired state.

Customer (PNC) requests that we create a custom script to get container resize actions data.

Very useful for the capacity team to show the container savings to the application owners.

When exporting data from unattached volumes, provide the data of the last attached VM as one of the exported fields.

When exporting data from unattached volumes, provide the data of the last attached VM as one of the exported fields. That data will allow for additional validation of if a VM is still active (and perhaps the user is using attaching/unattaching dis...

Make the Consul PV configurable

I am working on an opportunity where we needed to manually make the consul PV larger in a multinode T8 deployment in GKE. Since the consul volume size was hard-strapped by the orchestrator so we had to disable the orchestrator, create a new larger...

Hope to make the date accelerated when the Turbonomic's new function is supported officially which recommends the end users to optimize cloud cost.

Backgroumd My customer is considering embedding Turbonomic to their own cloud management service. At this time, the customer is using VMware's product as ARM in their service. But, it doesn't get Azure's billing data via API. Currently, Turbonomic...
