Figure: Optimization Summary - Single Scale Set
The following details are provided for both the current and the recommended instance type:

Column |
Description |
---|---|
Optimization Summary |
Identifies the overall status of the optimization results based on optimization type and potential savings/month. |
Monthly Waste |
The amount wasted by not using the recommended instance type. |
Effort |
This column describes the effort required to investigate and implement the Densify recommendations. The displayed group effort is an average of all the calculated effort values for each instance (or service) in the group. Values can be one of:
Effort for each instance is calculated by rule-driven analytics based on factors (such as family change, storage change, data quality checks, feature changes, etc.) that can be configured in the policy settings and rule sets which capture best practices. |
Instance Type |
The instance type. |
Group Size |
The minimum and maximum number of instances for the scale group. This value is only displayed for ASGs and VM Scale Set. |
Average No of Instances |
The average instance count on the current and recommended instance type. This value is only displayed for ASGs and VM Scale Set. |
Monthly Cost |
The monthly cost of the listed instance type. |
CPUs (Cores) |
This is the total CPU allocation, in cores, for the listed instance type. |
CPU Benchmark |
The CPU benchmark value for the instance type's specfied CPU. The benchmark value allows you to compare performance of the various hardware. |
Memory (GB) |
This is the total memory allocation, in GB, for the listed instance type. |
Scaling Policy |
This value indicates whether the scaling mode needs to be reviewed. Possible values are:

Utilization Charts
The bottom section shows the utilization charts for the selected instance. These charts show hourly min/max and sustained activity for the selected system. The charts show the current and the recommended settings for selected workloads. If the selected instance is "Just Right" then there are no charts for the recommended instance type.
See AI Analysis Details Utilization Charts for details on using these charts to review workload data.
