This was surfaced with Turbonomic 2+ years ago. It is presenting as a blocker now to at least one major initiative. "VMs" need to be standalone VMs. All compute nodes for managed services need to be identified in their own buckets, so we don't get databricks and all other VMSS nodes (AKS, AppSvc, etc) don't show up in what Turbo calls "Virtual Machines". This is a critical need now, please prioritize this ASAP.
Note: Tagging is not a viable answer. Tagging is static and won't catch future-created nodes/VMs. Don't assume we can apply tags for the entire enterprise.
The same client has another business use where is would be VERY handy to see which Business Service is creating the VMs. Particularing AKS, or Databricks or some other service vs a regular VM. This is all about lifecycle changes; they want to restrict regular VMs to a standard list - but they want to exclude Databricks, and AKS from these restrictions - and it is NOT possible to use Azure Service as a filter when creating Cloud VM groups. Other ideas like using tags - would work but this client cannot rely on the tags being reliable.
just spoken again to the customer and it's not just VMs that need to be able to be filtered by Cloud Service - it's also entities like Volumes. Business Case. Azure says it's SLAs are dependent on AKS Volumes being premium. Therefore the client would like to create a group Volumes generated by AKS to exclude Volume Efficiency actions away from PREMIUM SSD.
