parking filters should include Azure Synapse Analytics workspace.

An azure synapse analytics workspace business owner agreed to park the related VMs for that workspace but the Turbo Parker can't just select those machines based on workspace. The workaround is to tag those VMs with the workspace (or other tag). T...

Allow a way for app owners to see pending changes without Turbonomic access

Overwhelmingly, app owners want to know what's changing on their VMs (rightfully). Allowing them to see some sort of public dashboard of pending actions would help us greatly instead of either having to give all of them access or checking for the ...

Recommending the ideal configuration based on demand "forecasts".

Currently, Turbonomic actions can only be generated based on historical statistical data. However, we would like to receive recommendations for optimal configuration in advance, anticipating events such as the annual busy season that will occur ne...

Azure Services like Databricks, or AKS that create VMs should appear as a property in those VM entities.

With these properties being visible, Customer can create policies to exclude from policies VMs that are being managed by Azure Services. Customer can create UNPARKABLE collections based on Azure Services. Right now with 1000s of VMs, there is too ...

Need to be able to export Turbonomic data to 2 different locations

Add functionality to log hot-to-warm failover and/or make more visible when actions were disabled

Failing over is a manual process, and changes to what instance is running "hot" and what instance is running "warm" are not clearly evident from the charts. It would be very beneficial to not only be able to see, transposed onto all historical gra...

Allow resizing action of namespace quota

In Turbonomic Segments view of Policies, allow sort/filter/group by Type (e.g. Host Merge, Storage Merge, Network Merge under Merges)

The one-layer depth to the Turbonomic Segments portion of policies makes for difficult searching and sorting. Adding additional filters at each of these pages would help reduce noise and improve ease of management. I have submitted similar ideas i...

Allow use of VLAN ID for network matching for segmentation

Today, to verify a VM can live on another vCenter, Turbonomic checks the port group name to ensure match and that the same network is available at the destination. This idea is to match on the VLAN ID instead of the port group name string.
