This chart shows potential savings in your cloud expenditure, assuming you execute all the pending actions that Turbonomic identifies as a result of its analysis. For example, if there are pending actions to scale underutilized virtual machines to less expensive instance types, the Potential Savings chart shows the reduction in monthly costs.

This chart also track discount optimization actions. VM scaling actions may result in freed up capacity on a discounted instance type, which can now be applied to a different VM. Discount optimization actions reflect the potential savings resulting from reassigning the capacity to a different VM. These actions are not executed by Turbonomic users. They reflect capacity reassignment performed by your cloud provider.

To display a filtered view of the actions, click an action type (for example, Scale Volumes) in the ring chart or legend.

Click Show all to see a full list of actions in Action Center, along with action details and controls to execute actions. By default, the actions are shown in order of largest amounts so you can easily identify the actions that introduce the most savings.

You can also compare instance types, costs, and discount coverage before and after executing the actions, allowing you to easily identify actions with the most savings.
