Multiple Actions for GCP.

Hi friends. Today there is a limitation in IBM Turbonomic for any GCP actions that multiple actions belonging to the same VM cannot be executed simultaneously and we need to execute them one at a time. However, it is allowed by the Turbonomic UI r...

VDI - GPU support/improvement

Improve on-prem placement and sizing analysis with additional GPU constraints: - Adding GPU related metrics - Placement actions to take GPU utilization & constraints into consideration - Scaling actions to update GPU profile (GPU size)

Call Alter
