This dashboard displays the subscription details of clients. Here you will find details concerning various virtual machines on different tiers and information regarding the owner, location, processor type, pricing, and operation system
The price Tier and processor type grid provide information regarding the processor type (Intel) and the memory capacity. Considering per hour usage observation of the last 30 days, we recommend upgrading your processor from Intel to AMD with the same memory capacity at a lower cost. You can Upgrade the processor to benefit from additional cost savings.
This provides a timechart based on the per hour utilization of Virtual Machines. This chart holds the information of the different services , the cpu and memory utilization percentage and the time span of operation of virtual machines.
This dashboard displays a blank grey area associated with the Cloud Pilot training between 00.00 and 04.00. In this instance, the virtual machine is deallocated or not used during this time. It is possible to analyze the performance of virtual machines along with the deallocation interval for the last 30 days
Click the "view more" button to view the total and average utilization of every hour during the past 30 days. In the event that your virtual machine utilization is limited, you may downsize the virtual machines and enhance the cost-optimization process.
The grid highlighted in pale red indicates where the CPU or memory utilization on your virtual machines is less than 20% over a given period based on an average of 30 days. You can downsize or deactivate the Virtual Machines during that period to optimize the cost.
