Put a configurable cap on concurrent automated actions for the cloud provider to help with throttling.

The client is experiencing AWS throttling for EC2 Scaling Actions. 1000 actions can happen at the same time but can fail mid action due to AWS Throttling. . There is a setting called " properties: action-orchestrator: actionExecution.concurrentAut...

When creating a volume scaling policy I want to be able to easily select groups for the policies in the same way as the VM policies work.

Currently I have to use a regex expression to include all the groups that the policy applies to. This is highly inconvenient as every time I want to add a new group to the policy I have to construct a new regex expression.

Add support for MSSQL instances

Currently, any multi-tenant setup on SQL (aka SQL Instances) is not supported. The request is to add support - and the ideal solution would be to allow Turbo to enumerate all SQL instances via the SQL Server Browsing service.

Provide a means of identifying/managing policies with no/empty scope groups

As a user I would like the ability to identify policies that no longer have a scope group associated or groups that no longer have any members, so that I can ensure my automation is being enforced correctly as well as reduce "clutter".

Turbonomic uses APIs. We can contribute to Azure API throttling. How do we manage and minimize this impact.

Many clients have multiple applications using API calls in Azure Subscriptions. Security Apps, Compliance Apps, APMS (like Dynatrace) , Terraform, and our IBM apps - Turbonomic ARM and parkmycloud (PMC). Whilst Turbonomic may not be the main consu...

Plan Migration to show a cost comparison between migrating to the different cloud providers

Instead of a user creating 3 plans (one for each provider) and moving between dashboards to compare. A customer wanted to see a single dashboard comparing the possible migrations to all clouds to decide on the best one.

Include VIO Servers in the PowerVM support

I think it is important to support VIO Servers in the PowerVM support. At least add an option to allow the user to include VIO Servers. We used to have data/recommendations for VIOS when we were using Densify, so we knew we need to right-sized the...

Have a way to duplicate a Group (from the GUI) into a new Group with a different name

We would like a way to copy/duplicate individual Group. This will be very useful especially for Groups that has complex filtering or has lots of static members. This will not only make group creation much faster in certain cases. (e.g. if the new ...
