Add Entity as a group option #24

Closed StephenGoodall closed 4 years ago

StephenGoodall commented 4 years ago

Just adding in as a group option, after previous PR to display it in the optimisation views. Not sure how useful it would be for others (feel free to reject it), but we deploy to auto scale groups which have the entity as the name, so if we see 7 out of 8 instances can be optimised then it should be a good indication that the instance type for that "group" can be re-sized

Hey @StephenGoodall if we grouped by EntityName I think that could make the grouping too large for most? Could your situation also be solved by grouping by one of the ASG tags instead? Unless I'm misunderstanding what you're trying to solve in someway?

@Kav91 yeah good point, might not work for everyone 😁 Using tags would be good, it would make it a lot more flexible.

Then people can manage their tags with this in mind if they want to use it this way, is that already available or would that need development?

@StephenGoodall yep tags are already available, just ensure the account is using the AWS EC2 integration so the tags becomes available.
