Add support for multiple SaaS Clients connecting to SaaS instance

Today, one can only connect one SaaS Client to a Turbo SaaS instance. But there are examples where customers have multiple datacenters that do not have network connectivity between them. Because of this, they need a SaaS Client in each datacenter ...

Dollar value for on-prem scaling - just like Cloud. Each action has a saving/cost to it.

The customer would like Turbo to put a price tag on each action. They want to be able to tell how much adding vMem or vCPU or a combo. to a VMware VM costs. The customer is aware that it depends on a bunch of things (cost/hr of host, cost/hr of da...

The Cost Savings Per Month field which is available in downloads - add it to the API

Large customers use the API to blend this data with Portfolio Management Data - the cost savings is a KEY prioritization parameter to get actions taken.

The customer would like the ability to create an "Actions" widget in their dashboard to showcase the action executed for a particular business unit. We created groups for these business units in Turbo based on customer tags but that scope is not supported in the "Actions" widget

Being able to showcase actions executed on the basis of a business group would allow for more friendly competition within departments to get a "better turbo score" and track their individual teams progress.

Group membership should be easily visible for each VM

When I look at a VM I can see an overview, details, policies, actions. I would like to be able to see what groups the VM is part of in this same view. Having to go into reports to find the groups for a VM is not a good user experience. Thank you.

Create alternative container rightsizing action execution to directly update pod resource

The idea is mimc vertical pod autoscaler (VPA https://github.com/kubernetes/autoscaler/tree/master/vertical-pod-autoscaler) initial mode. "Initial": VPA only assigns resource requests on pod creation and never changes them later. This is just anot...

The ability to configure a schedule in our policy CR

For resizing operations (vertical scaling) our users are going to want to control when automatic actions are applied. Via the UI I do see an option to create a policy schedule.
