Fix consistency of Action Essentials between entity types

Currently other entity types such as RDS and EBS show whether downtime is required or not but EC2 does not provide this warning. Currently the State says "Action can be accepted and executed immediately." which may be misleading to someone not pay...

Add Tag as a consistent search/filter option when looking at any list of resources

When in Workloads, Actions, or Search, add a filter type of Tag to allow for adhoc filtering a list down to a subset. This functionality exists in the group creation, but not anywhere else in the UI. Most common areas of need are Search, Workload,...

The plan function should include migration of SQL Managed Instances from on prem to the cloud.

These are very expensive entities - and the ability to estimate costs would be good. Also important, some customers use the exported plan as an input into a semi-automated migration process. So being able to include SQL machines in the planning fu...

Expand options for monthly execution schedules

Currently monthly reoccurring schedules are limited to picking a specific day (3rd Wednesday), but don't allow for selecting a timeframe such as 2nd weekend or 3rd week. Often patching and maintenance schedules are a timeframe such as the last wee...

Add search field on the cloud Top Accounts page.

Currently you can search by account in the target list, or in the Search/Accounts list (which doesn't show you summary data), but if you go to the Top Accounts page, there is no way to easily search for the item you are looking for. This is really...

Add "Back" navigation to primary areas

When starting from the home screen it defaults to the Application tab. You then have to click Cloud tab and then Show All on the accounts widget, then scroll all the way down to find the one you're looking for. If you need to back out a level to l...

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...

Reflect host provision actions in the "Host Optimization Improvement" widget

In contrast to host suspension actions the "Host Optimization Improvement" widget does reflect host provisioning actions (see attached screenshot). According to engineering the reason is that the real-time market does not generate move actions bef...
