Highlights
These are the highlights of this release:
- Automatic recommendations based on baseline analysis are now available in the new Recommend panel. This includes right-size recommendations, including target vCPU configurations, memory configuration and suggestions for machines that should be disabled. This is fully configurable allowing you to configure activity threshold settings and minimum configuration for right-sizing.
For more information, see Recommend. - Capacity Planner now automatically suggests cloud instance configurations in AWS scoped to a baseline view, taking optimal capacity configuration into consideration in order to reduce costs effectively.
For more information, see Cloud migration. - A new Service Infrastructure report has been created. It provides you with the facility to select a grouping of workloads and determine the aggregate long-term trend in CPU and memory utilisation across all workloads.
For more information, see Service infrastructure report. - You can now save and rerun a report at any time without having to reenter parameters.
For more information, see Rerun a report. - Reports are now displayed using the latest version of SSRS Report Viewer. This introduces a new layout of parameters, and it also offers more flexibility with varying resolutions.
- A new MCluster grouping is available on all VMs. It allows for more effective filtering by cluster when reporting using VMs.
- The Highly Inactive VMs report is now deprecated. A new, more flexible report is available and can be run in the same way.

Known issues
These are the new features and enhancements of this release:
| Issue key | Release description |
|---|---|
| ICP-1459 |
When viewing a mixed physical and virtual environment within the sunburst, the recommend panel does not include recommendations or cloud sizing for the physical component of the estate. To work around this, change the sunburst view to only include physical servers. When this is done, both recommendations and cloud sizing will be available. |
