How it works

Microsoft Azure is Microsoft’s infrastructure platform for the public cloud. The IBM® Turbonomic® platform integrates with Azure through an Azure service principal and leverages Azure Resources Manager.

The IBM Turbonomic platform continuously generates actions that optimize Azure VMs, databases and volumes based on real-time demand. Its prescribed actions help ensure performance, while minimizing cost. Additionally, the IBM Turbonomic platform manages your reserved instances (RI) inventory and directs actions that maximize RI utilization and coverage, all through the lens of application performance.

For Azure App Service, a platform as a service (PaaS) offering from Microsoft, IBM Turbonomic software discovers the Azure platform and plans the makeup of your deployment. Azure App Service appears as “app component specs” on the IBM Turbonomic platform and the plans that define the underlying compute resources appear as “virtual machine specs.” To discover these with IBM Turbonomic software, users must provide permissions to support all the actions they want to perform.

Note: In order to enable Azure RI awareness and negotiated rates, you must provide the IBM Turbonomic platform with access to the Microsoft Enterprise Agreement rates through the Microsoft Enterprise Agreement target.
