IBM Turbonomic ARM

Fix Actions Taken list on the Top Accounts page.

When Navigating from the home page, to Cloud, Top Accounts, Show All, there is a column for number of actions available. (in the old UI) In the new UI this useful column was eliminated. Whether viewing in the UI or downloading that list, the Actio...

CPU Socket adjustment.

client: " I’d like to have Turbo always set the number of CPU sockets to 2, and to adjust the cores per socket # to modify the # of vCPUs when RightSizing. Currently this is accomplished with a custom script. I would like this configurable on at t...

SQL Target Enhancement

Client would like the SQL targets to be enhanced so that they can configure them with multiple ports and potentially multiple credentials.

Ability to RightSize a VM’s vMem and vCPU at the same time.

The clients would benefit by being able to take multiple actions at once. Increased efficiency

More robust scheduling options for workflows

Please look into expanding the scheduling options for automation workflows and parking workflows. I think this would be extremely beneficial. Right now, I have a use case where we have certain servers that stay off until they are needed, such as c...

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.

Action Script Server integration to capture details such as git repo etc in the UI

Action Script specific to each target account enables variables to be defined when setting up the target. The variables are passed to action script server and include details such as vault credentials, repo containing the code etc. Additional deta...

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...
