  • 1.  Rightsizing in IBM Cloud

    Posted Tue June 03, 2025 12:57 PM

    Hi, Folks!

    I'm currently working with a costumer that has workloads hosted on IBM Cloud, using Virtual Server Instances (VSIs) and Bare Metal Servers, and we're looking to improve cost efficiency through rightsizing.

    Cloudability offers great capabilities for AWS, Azure, and GCP in this area, but so far we haven't found clear documentation or native support for rightsizing on IBM Cloud.

    I'd love to hear from the community:

    1. Has anyone successfully implemented rightsizing (automated or manual) for workloads running on IBM Cloud?

    2. What strategies or tools are you using to identify underutilized resources in that environment?

    3. Are there any workarounds involving external metrics (e.g., from Instana, Turbonomic, or manual ingestion)?

    4. Is there any official roadmap from Apptio regarding native rightsizing support for IBM Cloud?

    Any tips, lessons learned, or example use cases would be greatly appreciated!

    Not an expert here, but I would hope that IBM support their own cloud infrastructure within Turbonomic.

    BTW, maybe this article (link) is helpful.
