VM Rightsizing Details Dashboard for vRealize Operations 8.2, and Cloud


Use this vRealize Operations dashboard to expore rightsizing recommendations. This dashboard will help answer these questions.

  • How does vROps determine the recommended size for a VM?
  • Which VMs are oversized?
  • Which VMs are undersized?
  • How do I justify the recommendation to the VM owner?
  • What is the potential change to capacity if the VMs are rightsized?
  • What is the potential change to VM cost if the VMs are rightsized?

More detailed description of Rightsizing with vRealize Operations is available here.
