Allow percentage parameter for consistent resize fault tolerance (on top of number of nodes)

The current private preview version of Consistent Resize Fault Tolerance support allows for configuration of "number of nodes" a group is capable of losing and supporting from a resize perspective. This idea is to allow configuration by percentage...

Prevent action failures when executing RDS scaling actions for instances running deprecated versions

This prevents Turbo from making recommendations that cannot be executed and makes automating such actions easier. My idea is to discover the DB version (This is already done today) and generate the current scaling recommendations with a pre-requis...

Allow for CPU Increment Size in vCPU Scaling Controlsto be extrapolated from "Change" field

We, like many customers, require the ability to increment by 2 (avoid odd number of cores) regardless of scaling control type. Currently, the tool only allows for that to be adjusted if we change "Virtual CPU". We need more granularity in ways we ...

Identify duplicate snapshots

Policy to identify duplicate backup snapshots in the public cloud so that Turbo can delete them

Turbonomic Health Alert Monitoring at Application/Instance level

We would like to enable instance-level monitoring to know the health alert status of the running Turbonomic application. In other words, users should get notified through automated email notification immediately if something goes wrong with the Tu...

Allow simultaneous execution of multiple actions per GCP VM

Currently there is a limitation in Turbonomic for any GCP actions that are multiple actions (not just volume actions) belonging to the same VM. They cannot be executed simultaneously, and they need to be executed one at a time. Allowing for multip...

Need API to gain secret from instance so it does not need to be stored in metadata. Related to OAuth2

We would like the ability to dynamically get a client secret for an OAuth2 client using an API call. We have many tools and processes that rely on the Turbo API and this would allow us to more easily enable automation and avoid the need to manage ...

Add option to add EDP to effective rate

Add option to add EDP to effective rate. This would show a more accurate savings cost.

Have the Policies tab always show the Consistent Resize scaling constraint and its value so that I can guarantee whether it is applied to a VM or group of VMs

When you navigate to a VM or group of VMs, I want to be able to see the value for Consistent Resize that is applied to each to confirm whether or not it is applied. Currently if it is not applied, the setting is not present. This way, there's an a...

Enable Multi Resource Graphing to have the option of going over 100% so that vCPU which can peak to 150% or more can provide context for rightsizing.

It used to be that the multi-resource graph went above 100% but some customers didn't like that. So it was capped at 100%. This customer though sees big value in seeing when those peaks happen for proper context on rightsizing decisions and troubl...
