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...

Add a description field of at least 256 characters to Groups and Policies to allow for annotation of when and why they were created for and what other objects they correspond to.

Just as this description field is used in this idea submission, a description field in the Groups and Policies will allow us to tag them with metadata that will be useful in remembering when and why we created them.

Visibility of Historic Recommendations

I'd like to be able to see the historic recommendations for a volume or VM. As the resource performance changes Turbo will be making recommendations and changing them and its this history that I want to be able to see. Some of our VMs are cyclical...

Extend Turbo's parking/suspending capabilities to on-premises VMs

Extend Turbo's parking/suspending functionality to VMs in vmware/hyper-v enviornments. For all the same reasons Turbo supports parking VMs in the cloud, Turbo should extend this functionality to on-prem workloads. By turning off idle resources, Tu...

Add support for multiple billing accounts per cloud provider

We are trying to add 2 AWS master billing accounts to Turbo and found out that Turbo does not support that configuration. We are also trying to add 2 Azure EA's and that is not supported either. We need Turbo to support multiple billing accounts p...

Allow resizing of a VM when the VM is not running

Use Groups to schedule a Park action

The Park action currently only allows filtering by Name and Region/Tag, with Groups (turbonomic-settings) not being a selectable filter option at this time. Park using Groups would make more sense
