Correctly Calculate Parking Realized Savings

In the Executed Actions widget, the savings realized by suspend actions (as a consequence of a parking schedule) are incorrectly calculated. We downloaded the exported file and validated multiple cases. In the first place, it calculates the savings based on "on-demand" rates and does not consider the "effective cost". Also, it supposes that the VM will stay shut down the whole month and multiplies the on-demand cost/hour by 730h and that is not realistic (at least that was my conclusion from the comparisons I was able to make). It should also calculate the realized savings of Spot Instances as part of ASGs.

    @Guest Parking workloads reflect their On-Demand/Hourly rate in the UI which is the reference towards the realized savings now, without discounts as they could be used anywhere within the scope of resources (parked vs unparked). For the effective cost that is expected in the request, there is an effort ongoing to project the effective cost based realized savings.
