MSP are manually processing AWS MAP credits, and they need an automated way of achieving this.

AWS offers an extremly complex way of receiving credits back for workloads that are being migrated to Aws from onprem. This complexity is by design to make sure for most part that credits are never realized. This requires enormous tagging of workl...

The VMware Target should have the check box just like the Dynatrace Target (Collect Tag Information)

Right now if the same tag comes in from VMware and the APM target you're going to get duplication. Let the customer decide if they want the duplication. I recommend that the default value is YES. The other option is to have smart logic choosing wh...

More of a Bug than an idea. Currently unutilized part of a Savings plan shows Reservations class as "Standard" which is a class suitable for RIs.

For a customer Reservation Class is showing as "Standard" despite the Lease Type being Savings Plan. This happens specifically for Transaction Type "Recurring Charge". Implecation being that the unused part of a Savings Plan is being tagged under ...

Documentation on the policies created dynamically

We don't have documentation on policies Turbonomic creates on the fly based on the target environment configuration/setttings e.g. ASG, compliance policies, k8s env policies etc. Can we have this documented to understand whats learnt from each env...

AWS EMR Cluster Support and handling

Turbo does not inherently recognize this particular type of device (EMR Cluster) as a “special handling” instance; in effect it sees a list of instances that can be optimized. Without scaling these devices concurrently/consistently, the cluster wi...

Connect Turbonomic to Azure Database Watcher Fabric metrics store

Azure DB watcher is still in public preview and doesn't support all database types ie IaaS yet. It's great that Turbonomic already supports DB watcher and can connect to a data explorer cluster. It would be great if Turbonomic supported the MSFT f...
