Column	Values	Rules triggered
ENV	Production / Staging / Dev / Test	1a f1/g1/e2-shared burstable excluded (Prod/Staging) · 1b Current-gen only (Prod) · 1c ≥2 vCPUs (Prod) · 1d ≥4 vCPU for DB/Web workloads (Prod)
OS	Linux (default) / Windows	Windows → ARM (T2A series) excluded
Workload	General · Database · Web Server · Cache · ML/AI · Batch · HPC · SAP	Preferred series sorted first: Database→M1/M2/M3/M4 · Web→N2/E2/N4 · Cache→M1/M2/M3 · ML/AI→A2/A3/G2 · Batch→C2/C3 · HPC→H3/C2
Compliance	PCI / HIPAA / SOC2 / FIPS	1b Current-gen only · No burstable
Min Gen	n2 / n4 (family name)	Excludes machine families older than the specified generation (e.g. n4 → only N4/C4 and newer)

All columns are optional — blank cells use safe defaults.

Recommendation Type

Like-to-Like Recommendation
Recommends instances with equal or higher CPU and memory (cheapest option)

Optimized Recommendation
Recommends instances based on actual utilization data

Both
Generates both like-to-like and optimized recommendations

🧠 Optimization Settings

Optimization Mode:

CPU-Based

Memory-Based

💻 CPU Utilization Ranges:

CPU Downsizing (N-1): % to %

CPU Keep Same (N): % to %

CPU Upsizing (N+1): % to 100%

🧠 Memory Utilization Ranges:

Memory Downsizing (N-1): % to %

Memory Keep Same (N): % to %

Memory Upsizing (N+1): % to 100%

Advanced Instance Filtering (Optional)

▼

✨ Current Generation Only Include only latest generation instances (recommended for better performance)

🔧 Restrict to specific processor types Choose preferred processor architectures

📋 Restrict to specific instance families Choose main instance families (E2, N1, N2, C2, etc.)

❌ Exclude specific instance types Exclude certain categories of instances

🧠 Rule Engine Defaults

Set page-level defaults for all rows. Per-row CSV columns override these. Rules merge with the filters above — conflicts are flagged in red.

Rule descriptions ▸

Rule	Effect
ENV=Production	Excludes shared-core (e2-micro/small), enforces current-gen, min 4 vCPU for web/DB
OS=Windows	De-prioritises T2A (ARM) families; prefers Intel or AMD
Workload=Web Server	n2/c2 first; Database → n2-highmem/m1 first; ML/AI → a2/g2 first
Compliance=HIPAA/PCI	Excludes shared-core; enforces current-gen
Min Gen=N2+	Excludes N1 (1st gen); keeps N2, C2, N2D and newer only
