This is an IBM Automation portal for Cloud Management, Technology Cost Management, Network Automation and AIOps products. To view all of your ideas submitted to IBM, create and manage groups of Ideas, or create an idea explicitly set to be either visible by all (public) or visible only to you and IBM (private), use the IBM Unified Ideas Portal (https://ideas.ibm.com).
We invite you to shape the future of IBM, including product roadmaps, by submitting ideas that matter to you the most. Here's how it works:
Start by searching and reviewing ideas and requests to enhance a product or service. Take a look at ideas others have posted, and add a comment, vote, or subscribe to updates on them if they matter to you. If you can't find what you are looking for,

The latest example of this is the asV6 SKUs which have a dependency for the VM to be running the NVMe disk controller, yet the recommendation is being made for VMs wwith SCSI disk controllers. These optimisations then fail when customers try to apply them which undermines the confidence in the cloudability recommendations and the automation of rightsizing.

Would also be great if you could then easily select the best 'no intervention' recommendation from the list of recommendations in the API JSON output, the outcome being an automated rightsizing process that uses recommendations that should work without intervention.
More examples;
Operation 'deallocate' is not supported for VMs or VM Scale Set instances using an ephemeral OS disk. The Diff Disk Placement of type 'CacheDisk' is not supported for VM size Standard_E2a_v4. Please request with different DiffDiskPlacement or use a different VM Sku which supports the current DiffDiskPlacement in the request. Operation 'deallocate' is not supported for VMs or VM Scale Set instances using an ephemeral OS disk.
PatchMode' must be set to 'AutomaticByPlatform' for resources created with Hotpatch-compatible images. 'PatchMode' must be set to 'AutomaticByPlatform' for resources created with Hotpatch-compatible images. 'PatchMode' must be set to 'AutomaticByPlatform' for resources created with Hotpatch-compatible images
Virtual machine has size Standard_B4ms, which is not compatible with enabling accelerated networking on network interface(s) on the VM. Please visit https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-network/accelerated-networking-overview?tabs=redhat#supported-vm-instances to get Compatible VM sizes.
Requested operation cannot be performed because the VM size Standard_E4a_v4 does not support the storage account type Premium_LRS of disk. Consider updating the VM to a size that supports Premium storage.
