Auto-detect and exclude Hosts dedicated for maintenance/operational vacancy

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

  • Telefónica intentionally has some empty hosts, without load, exclusively to move load there during update/maintenance/obsolescence tasks. It is not a fixed rule, but it is usually one free host for every 8 or 9 hosts.
  • This Telefónica's policy is applied both to worker nodes in a kubernetes clusters, and to Host/ESX in a vCenter.
  • These empty hosts are only identified in vCenter or kubernetes by labels -metadata- (it is not possible to identify them by hostname, for example).
  • Turbo detects all of these servers as "active", generating "false possitive" recommendations, and the client requests the possibility to exclude them based on the tag value.

    Can we please close this as it seems the product already has features along these lines?

    Turbonomic currently allows users to manually exclude nodes from action generation and automation. This is accomplished by creating a group of nodes to exclude and applying policies to disable them, or by adding action constraints for maintenance windows. Auto detecting nodes for exclusion is complex due to the highly variable, case-specific reasons for exclusion (e.g., maintenance, operational dependencies). Making assumptions about these reasons is problematic. Therefore, the optimal approach is to consider all nodes for container platform optimization by default, requiring users/customers to explicitly specify any exclusions. Please refer to the following documentation for further details:
