Optimizing the VM Bursting Model

In the bursting model of VMs, I would like you to monitor the amount of credit accumulation and consumption and make optimization suggestions.

For example, changing to a model with larger credits or to a model other than a burst model.

■AWS EC2 (T4g, T3a, and T3 instance types)

Burstable performance instances - Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud
■Azure VM(B Series)

B Series CPU Credit Model - Azure Virtual Machines | Microsoft Learn

    Given the current demand and bandwidth, this feature is not going to be in the roadmap within the next 9-12 month. Moving it to not under consideration for now.

    Hello IBM team,

    What additional information do you need?

    As a request, I would like to receive suggestions for models with larger credits or models other than burst models for the VM(AWS EC2 (T4g, T3a, and T3 instance types), Azure VM(B Series)) currently in use.

    Thanks
