CloudPi Recommendations

The CloudPi Recommendations Page is designed to streamline the process of identifying and acting on cloud cost optimization recommendations. This comprehensive and interactive feature empowers users to optimize cloud costs through data-driven recommendations.

Overview

Get insights and suggestions to optimize cloud resources and boost performance. The Recommendations page provides a centralized view of all optimization opportunities across your cloud environment.

Recommendations Overview

Summary Metrics

At the top of the page, CloudPi Recommendations provides a high-level summary of the cost-saving potential:

Total Recommendations - Overall number of recommendations across all cloud providers

Potential Savings - Total possible cost savings if all recommendations are implemented

Realized Savings - Savings already achieved from completed actions (percentage completed)

Not Remediated - Recommendations still pending action and requiring attention

In Progress - Recommendations currently being addressed

Data Filtering

Once the recommendations data is fetched and processed, users can apply several filters to refine and customize the view:

Group By - Allows grouping of recommendations (e.g., All or Policy) for better organization

Policy Name - Filter by specific policy name

Category - Filters by recommendation type such as Optimization, Governance, Performance, or Security

Account ID - Filter recommendations by cloud account

Region - View recommendations based on the region of the resource

Service - Filter by specific cloud service

Status - Filter by current status (Initiated, In Progress, Completed, etc.)

Priority - Filter by priority level (High, Medium, Low)

Time Period - Enable filtering by a defined period (e.g., Past 3 Months – Till Date)

These filters are applied in real-time, and the displayed recommendations update dynamically.
