Rightsizing

Purpose

Recommendations for idle, oversized, or orphaned resources — turn Cost Intelligence into concrete shape changes.

When to use it

  • After reviewing expensive VMs
  • Periodic waste sweeps
  • Before purchasing more cluster capacity

How to get there

  • Route: /rightsizing
  • Nav: More → Insights → Rightsizing (also linked from Cost views)

Operate from the console (UX)

  1. Open /rightsizing from the sidebar, workspace switcher, or command palette (⌘K / Ctrl+K).
  2. Read the PageHead / deck line — confirm it matches: Recommendations for idle, oversized, or orphaned resources — turn Cost Intelligence into concrete shape changes.
  3. Select the time range and scope (cluster / namespace / tenant).
  4. Drill from rollup → workload; export or create a budget/alert if the page offers it.
  5. Cross-check rightsizing recommendations before resizing production VMs.
  6. Empty / fail: No data → check auth, namespace filter, and that required operators (KubeVirt/CDI/monitoring) are installed; purpose was: Recommendations for idle, oversized, or orphaned resources — turn Cost Intelligence into concrete sh.
  7. Success: Live inventory or job progress matches the deck line; you can navigate to a related center without re-auth.
