Rate of Resize without Limitation

Hello, we faced a strange problem where a VM with 5% utilization in the 95th percentile had no action. After investigation with the Support we came to the conclusion that it is like this because Turbonomic would scale down the VM below the Applica...

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...

Turboonomic EU based SaaS Reporting

Today the Turbonomic SaaS reporting in Thoughtspot is hosted only in the US. Many organizations in Norway require the data to be stored within EU, for example all of the public sector. https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/tarm/8.15.4?topic=reporting-enabli...

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...

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...

Support Scaling Actions for GCP Sole Tenancy Workloads

In GCP you can deploy workloads on Sole Tenancy Nodes, typically large projects. We would want to optimize workloads running on sole tenancy nodes to achieve more savings. Currently, Turbo discovers those workloads without actions.

Add a feature that displays the number of days since a proposed action was generated.

From the perspective of deciding which actions to prioritize, it would be helpful to see the history of past proposals—especially if we want to prioritize actions that have been pending for three months or longer. Currently, the customer exports t...

Can't use REGEX in ACCOUNT as a filter when creating Virtual Machine and Volume groups

You can't use REGEX in ACCOUNT filter when creating Virtual Machine group. Customers have hundreds of accounts and need to roll one by one clicking. This slow down the management process and lead to human errors.

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.

business benefit should appear in ServiceNow Change

The biggest challenge with VM Sizing is getting App Team buy-in. With ServiceNow Orchestration - the app team will receive an approval for a CR in ServiceNow. Right now there is NO BUSINESS BENEFIT listed in this change. Why would they approve? In...
