Cloud Optimization Policies

Policy settings applied to your cloud environments are displayed on the specific Optimization Policies page. Navigate to the policy settings summary page from:

Public Cloud menu > Cloud Provider > Optimization Policies tab.

Note:  Advanced policy settings are not displayed in the Densify Console.

You can review your policy settings through the Densify Console. Contact [email protected] to review and tune the settings to suit your business requirements.

Filtering Policy Categories

You can filter the settings to review, using the Select drop down menu at the top of the page. You can review a specific policy category or all categories, using the options in this menu. The policy settings displayed in the top pane as well as the Settings Descriptions tab, in the bottom pane, are defined by this filter.

Note:  Advanced policy categories are not displayed in this filter.

Using the Lower Pane

The top pane displays the active policies and their setting values. The lower pane displays policy settings for the policy or category selected in the top pane:

• Description—The description of the cloud policy, selected in the top pane.
• Accounts/Subscriptions/Projects—The accounts, subscriptions, or projects associated with the selected cloud policy. The Densify analytics use the policy to generate recommendation for the listed accounts, subscriptions, or projects.
• Settings Descriptions—Descriptions of the standard policy settings, including the parent category and the default values.

Note:  Policies, defined in Densify, but not referenced by any cloud environments are not displayed in the Optimization Policies page.
