Want to see if it might be possible to do "forcive"/"planning" sizing

Would like to see if there might be a way to force sizing actions when needed . Have several situations where we want to do **non-usage based sizing** what I call = "planning sizing" . Use cases are  - where app owners have done load testing and knows the load is coming to the app instance and wants to size "in mass" to proactively size the app instance for upcoming load. There are allot of different use cases for this type of sizing.  

Just thinking through the UI and how we might be able to do this is in policies have that have a "ignore usage and market" toggle on the policy. 

 

Current support ticket we review these type of use cases with - TS015514933

Bug # = TRB-80250

    Have a use case now where they want to add CPU's b/c during their peak time CPU usage got high/topped out. Been forcing sizing for some time now. Typically, I can make them happen by tweaking the policies. Thats all time I don't want to spend/wasting "forcing" these actions. Would like to propose that you make the Minimum settings hold true = if I set a minimum, for CPU or RAM it should give me an action to move to that minimum, otherwise there is no point to the minimum setting in Turbo policies, plus if you made the min "rule supreme" (as they should imo) Then you would have forced sizing an option in the product while making the minimum values act as they should . Would assume this option would cut down development time quite a bit from any other options.

    Have a use case I'm working on , where we have the actions close to what we want. Still have 2 actions in the list (CPU actions) that want to size up from 2 to 3 CPUs, and all policies related to the actions should be 2 to 4 CPU's . Would like to present as use case for this .
