Specific to the merged idea TURBO-I-116, it's important to maintain customer configurations as they were configured by the customer. If a custom policy is created to limit the number of instance types for scaling, Turbonomic should not add any additional instance types to that list for any reason. This erodes customer trust in the platform, and can result in unexpected outcomes which could lead to the removal of automation.
I think that a better overall solution would be to automatically add instance types when they are released by the CSP. Adding an identifier may only end up being a bandaid.
Perhaps create a new automatic policy that identifies "Unsupported SKU" - this would show up in the Policy list for any resource to which it applies.
I think this is a great idea and would help in both the field and keeping Turbo as up to date as possible. Has my vote !!
