Plan results shall include all commodities (e.g. IOPS) relevant for the resulting sizing

When running a plan, especially a hardware refresh plan, you cannot see the reasoning for the resulting number of hosts if the reason is a commodity like IOPS not displayed in the plan results. Therefore, please display all commodities (e.g. IOPS)...

Custom time period at top of page to apply to all widgets on page

I’d like the ability to add a custom date range on the top of a page (Dashboards, regular VM/Group pages, etc) so it propagates to all the widgets/graphs – similar to how the limited selections do now. When using Turbo to evaluate utilization or r...

In overlay windows such as action center the link to the entity on which homepage the overlay was opened does not work

In overlay windows such as action center the link to the entity on which homepage the overlay was opened does not work as it refers to the same URL. This is the case in all Turbo installations self-hosted and SaaS. Find attached a video outlining ...

Add option to DISABLE irreversible Cloud Volume Actions

We have an Urgent business case for Metlife to lower the Storage tier on VDI VMs that have been IDLE/powered off for 7+ days. When we generate the actions, if the VM was having high iops on SSD, we recommend resizing to HDD but also increase size ...

Turbo should not recommend Disk Size changes for Azure HyperScale DBs - they autoscale.

bad actions reduce faith in the product and waste time. This is distracting the customer for really good actions - like HyperScale scaling.

Add support for vSAN Witness host

Implementing vSAN Stretched Clusters in a VMware vSphere environment requires setting up a witness host storing all meta data but hosting no VMs and acting as a quorum in a split brain situation (see https://core.vmware.com/resource/vsan-stretched...

No tracking of user who executed a failed action

Horizontal scaling for CPU

As a user, I’d like to use resource metrics such as CPU and Memory that is captured from Kubeturbo to leverage for a Horizontal Scaling policy on a horizontally scalable k8s service. Note today, the user does have a workaround for CPU. Use Prometu...

CPU pinning workloads

As a user, I’d like to express a tolerance for CPU and memory for whole-core increments, like what we did for throttling. I'd like to set equal CPU request and limit (for OCR). PM update to requirement: We will implement support for rightsizing CP...

Icons on left go missing when GUI is in large font/size

When a new user logs into Turbo, their GUI by default shows the screen as fairly large and the icons on the black bar on the left of the GUI are not always present (first to go missing is Settings at the bottom). If you resize the screen to be sma...
