Need an option to exclude certain GCP projects/Azure Resource Group at an org level as a policy for rightsizing.

Need an option to exclude certain GCP projects/Azure Resource Group at an org level as a policy for rightsizing. For example, let's say you have a project or resource group with a VM that is vendor specification. Even if it's underutilized according to Cloudability, you might have a vendor specific contract to maintain that oversize VM for support. Another example is Commvault creating native snapshots that needs to be excluded. pull and incremental backups run a snapshot job first, and then complete the respective backup using the same snapshot. Cloudability shows them are rightsizing however they once the backup job is completed, the link between the backup job and the snapshot job is removed. That snapshot would still show up as a rightsized when it no longer exist.

    Thanks for the submission. I'm moving this to 'needs more information'. Please provide broader context so other users/organizations can understand the request and vote appropriately.
