Include Suspend Actions in Container Pods Automation Policy

Currently, the automation policy for container pods includes only the "Move" action in the automation workflow. However, we've received feedback from customers who prefer not to see "Suspend" actions for container pods in the Action Center. To address this, we request that "Suspend" actions be included in the automation workflow within the automation policy for container pods.

    Hello, and thank you for taking the time to submit an idea.

    From what I understand, you're looking to create a policy that prevents the generation of container suspend actions. I’d like to better understand the motivation behind this request.

    Please note that container suspend actions are critical for enabling successful suspension of container nodes. Without suspending the pods first, node suspension will remain blocked, which is typically not desirable from an operational standpoint.

    Additionally, the Action Center organizes actions by type rather than by entity. This means that container pod suspend actions will appear in a separate list from container move actions, helping to minimize clutter in the UI.

    Looking forward to your insights on this.
