IBM Turbonomic ARM

Showing 564

Add a description field of at least 256 characters to Groups and Policies to allow for annotation of when and why they were created for and what other objects they correspond to.

Just as this description field is used in this idea submission, a description field in the Groups and Policies will allow us to tag them with metadata that will be useful in remembering when and why we created them.

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...

Enable granular automation for databases

At current version, a Turbonomic admin can't choose the direction that a Database action can be executed. Even at Group creation, we don't have filters to pick just performance or Savings or if the Cost Impact is positive or negative (because some...

Extend Turbo's parking/suspending capabilities to on-premises VMs

Extend Turbo's parking/suspending functionality to VMs in vmware/hyper-v enviornments. For all the same reasons Turbo supports parking VMs in the cloud, Turbo should extend this functionality to on-prem workloads. By turning off idle resources, Tu...

Allow resizing of a VM when the VM is not running

Scale actions to resize or change the instance type of a VM in Azure do not function on a VM that is stopped/deallocated. Many of our VMs are scheduled to be stopped outside of normal business hours. We also have a schedule policy to have "execute...

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...
