Fix consistency of Action Essentials between entity types

Currently other entity types such as RDS and EBS show whether downtime is required or not but EC2 does not provide this warning. Currently the State says "Action can be accepted and executed immediately." which may be misleading to someone not pay...

Add Tag as a consistent search/filter option when looking at any list of resources

When in Workloads, Actions, or Search, add a filter type of Tag to allow for adhoc filtering a list down to a subset. This functionality exists in the group creation, but not anywhere else in the UI. Most common areas of need are Search, Workload,...

Expand options for monthly execution schedules

Currently monthly reoccurring schedules are limited to picking a specific day (3rd Wednesday), but don't allow for selecting a timeframe such as 2nd weekend or 3rd week. Often patching and maintenance schedules are a timeframe such as the last wee...

Enable a toggle feature to be able to execute actions in a more granular way for Database Server recommendations

Add search field on the cloud Top Accounts page.

Currently you can search by account in the target list, or in the Search/Accounts list (which doesn't show you summary data), but if you go to the Top Accounts page, there is no way to easily search for the item you are looking for. This is really...
